CCC Leadership Prays for Peace Ahead of 2026 Ekiti Election
Ahead of the upcoming Ekiti State governorship election, the Pastor and Spiritual Head of the Celestial Church of Christ (CCC) Worldwide, Reverend Emmanuel Mobiyina Oshoffa, has made a passionate call for peace, stability, and people-centric governance in the state.
The spiritual leader made the call during the special 2026 Ekiti Peace Crusade, themed "The Heavens Were Open To Him" (Luke 3:21), held at the Fajuyi Mini Pavilion in Ado-Ekiti on Friday 12 June, 2026. The event, which coincided with Nigeria's Democracy Day, drew thousands of Celestial faithful and top church leaders from across the state and country.
Reverend Oshoffa’s goodwill message was delivered on his behalf by the Secretary of the Board of Trustees (BOT) of the CCC Worldwide, Sup. Evangelist Obafemi Adewale SAN. The CCC Spiritual Head commended the Ekiti State Chapter for organizing the prayer intervention at a critical political juncture. He emphasized that the church must act as the conscience of the nation by choosing intercession over political incitement. "Your decision to seek the face of God for peace before, during, and after the governorship election in Ekiti State is most timely and deeply commendable," Reverend Oshoffa stated. "I pray that the election shall be peaceful, that the choice of the people shall stand, and the will of God shall prevail." He further charged political leaders to always prioritize the welfare of ordinary citizens.
Aligning with the spiritual father’s message, the BOT Secretary, Sup. Evangelist Obafemi Adewale SAN, openly commended the governance style of the incumbent administration. Pointing to the massive infrastructural developments across Ekiti State, Adewale urged church members to review the positive track records of Governor Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji (BAO) and his Deputy, Chief (Mrs.) Monisade Afuye, and make informed choices by supporting them in the forthcoming polls.
In her remarks, the Deputy Governor of Ekiti State, Her Excellency, Chief (Mrs.) Monisade Afuye—who is a dedicated member of the Celestial Church of Christ—expressed profound gratitude to the church leadership for their unalloyed support and prayers. Responding to concerns raised by the church regarding national security, Deputy Governor Afuye reassured the congregation of the government’s total commitment to securing the immediate release of citizens held in captivity. She further pledged that the Oyebanji-led administration would sustain its harmonious relationship with the Christian community and continue delivering the dividends of democracy to every corner of the state.
