ECWA Church Urges Members To Obtain Cards, Get Ready For Elections

The Evangelical Church Winning All (ECWA) has charged its  members to recognise the critical role of credible leadership in shaping the future of the nation by ensuring  that they obtain their voters’ registration cards  and be ready to participate actively in the electoral process at all levels.

It gave the charge in a communique issued at the end of its 73rd General Church Council (GCC) meeting in Jos at the weekend.

The communique which was signed by the president, Rev Dr. Job Bagat and secretary, Rev. Dr. Ayuba Asheshe encouraged members who want to contest any elective position in 2027  to step forward and engage responsibly.

The council noted that the absence of principled and value-driven individuals in the political space often creates room for poor governance and leadership deficits.

ECWA also called on electoral umpire institutions to conduct their responsibilities with the highest standards of integrity, transparency, and fairness, thereby strengthening public confidence in the electoral process and its outcomes.

“While encouraging active participation, the council strongly advises all members to conduct themselves in a peaceful, lawful, and civil manner, avoiding all forms of violence, misconduct, or actions that could undermine the unity and stability of the nation,” it said.

The communique urged all members to remain prayerful and discerning, trusting God to guide the nation toward righteous leadership and sustainable development.

It further called  on all members of ECWA to remain steadfast in faith, unity, and commitment to the mission of the church, while actively contributing to national peace, development, and righteousness.
