The Evangelical Church Winning All (ECWA) has sounded a critical alarm over the escalating insecurity in Nigeria, coinciding with the election of Chidi Madubuko as its new Vice-President. The church's leadership is increasingly concerned about the surge in violence affecting communities, particularly in the northern and central regions, where attacks by armed groups have become more frequent and devastating.
In a statement reflecting the church’s apprehension, ECWA President Rev. Stephen Panya-Baba noted, “The rising tide of insecurity poses a direct threat to our communities and the fabric of our society.” This sentiment underscores a broader crisis in Nigeria, where citizens grapple with persistent threats to their safety, disrupting daily life and economic activities. The church's advocacy for peace and security has become more urgent as violence continues to challenge local governance and community cohesion.
Going forward, the church's leadership, now under Madubuko, may play a pivotal role in mobilizing civil society and engaging with government efforts to restore stability. Their influence could foster dialogue and proactive measures aimed at addressing the root causes of insecurity, ultimately striving for a safer Nigeria.
