Former Labor Party Presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has congratulated the incoming President of the Ekklesiyar Yan’uwa a Nigeria (EYN), Rev. Dr. Daniel Y.C. Mbaya, on his election as the church’s Leader during the just concluded 77th EYN GCC Majalisa.
Mr. Obi shared a Congratulatory message on X (formerly twitter) on 25, April 2024, expressing his optimism towards Rev. Daniel Mbaya’s leadership and expressed confidence in his ability to lead the EYN church forward.
“I will like to heartily facilitate with new leadership of some churches in Nigeria. the Church of the Brethren in Nigeria, known in hausa as Ekklesiyar Yan’uwa a Nigeria, EYN, is ably led by the new president of the denomination, Rev. Dr. Daniel Y.C. Mbaya and Rev. James K. Musa as General Secretary”.
“I also wish to congratulate the newly elected president of the Evangelical Church Winning All, ECWA, Rev. Job Bhagat, as he takes on the noble mantle of leadership in the church”.
Mr. Obi, a respected figure in Nigerian politics, urged the newly elected Church leaders to continue building bridges of understanding and unity within the church and beyond.
“Churches, like other religious groups, have continued to play a very vital role in promoting peaceful coexistence in our multi-religious nation. They continue to serve as the moral compass of the nation by spreading the gospel of love to all men and pricking our conscience, as leaders, to always do what is right. I encourage the newly elected church leaders to continue to lead the church in the fear of God while praying earnestly for our nation in distress” He added.
