Governor Hope Uzodimma has named the 2013 AFCON-Winning Super Eagles Chaplain, Rev. Dr. Divine Eches Divine as his Special Adviser on Religious Affairs, Silvernews.com.ng reports.
This was contained in a statement by the Chief Press Secretary/Special Adviser Media to the Imo State Governor, Oguwike Nwachuku.
The appointment of the immediate past Chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Imo State Chapter took effect June 25, 2025.
Rev Eches was elected Chairman of CAN, Imo State in 2020, a position he relinquished this month following a successful hand over to a successor.
In the five years that Rev Eches held away as CAN boss in Imo State, he acquitted himself creditably, discharging his roles in ways that also brought accolades to him from his Superiors working in God’s vineyard, both within and outside.
Before Rev Eches became Chairman of CAN Imo State, he had held other key positions in the organisation such as Secretary; Director of Education, Youth and Women Development; Deputy Publicity Secretary; among others.
A strong member of the Evangelical Church Winning All (ECWA) ministry, Rev Eches holds a Doctorate Degree in Theology, and was at different times, Chaplain of Enyimba Football Club, Aba and Super Eagles of Nigeria
He hails from Isiala Mbano in Imo State.
In congratulating Rev Eches in his new role, Governor Uzodimma expects that he will bring his wealth of experience, not just to serve Imo State well, but to deploy same in ensuring that the society is a better place for all.
