The Council, which brings together church leaders, delegates, and representatives from all ECWA districts and zones across Nigeria and beyond, serves as the highest decision-making body of the denomination. This year’s gathering, which began with opening prayers and a review of the church’s mission progress, featured elections as a key item on the agenda.
General Secretary Re-elected for Second Term
In a vote of confidence in his leadership, Rev. Dr. Ayuba Asheshe was re-elected as ECWA General Secretary for a second term.
His re-election reflects the Council’s approval of his stewardship during his first tenure, during which he oversaw administrative reforms and expanded outreach initiatives. Dr. Asheshe will continue to serve as the chief administrative officer of the church.
New Vice President Emerges
The race for the Vice President position was conducted in a peaceful and orderly environment. Rev. Chidi Joseph Nmadubuko emerged victorious after securing 220 votes.
Rev. Nmadubuko brings a wealth of pastoral and leadership experience to the role, and will work closely with the ECWA President in providing strategic direction for the church.
Trustee Election for Zone 9
In another development, Rev. Dr. Ezekiel Babatunde Omidiji was returned elected as Trustee for Zone 9. His re-election ensures continuity in the management of ECWA’s trust properties and legal matters within the zone.
Prayer and Dedication
The atmosphere at the Conference Center was one of solemnity and gratitude. Delegates offered prayers for the newly elected officers, asking for divine wisdom, strength, and unity as they lead ECWA in the coming years.
We pray that God grants the General Secretary and the new Vice President wisdom to lead ECWA for His glory. Amen.
