Pastor Kumuyi Explains Decision to Host Muslim Clerics at Church Conference
Pastor William Kumuyi, the founder of Deeper Christian Life Ministry, has explained his decision to invite Muslim clerics to speak from the pulpit during a recent church conference.
The clarification came while he was preaching on Monday at the Change Makers International (CMI) conference, held at the General Yakubu Gowon Stadium in Elekahia, Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
The sight of Muslim clerics wearing traditional caps while addressing the congregation from the church’s pulpit has stirred significant discussion and controversy on social media.
In response to the backlash, Pastor Kumuyi addressed the issue in a now-viral video, explaining that the conference was held in a stadium setting rather than within the church’s traditional premises.
Pastor Kumuyi stated, “Some people questioned my decision, noting the clerics wearing their caps. However, we are in a stadium environment, not within the church building.
As such, I did not see it as necessary to address the issue of attire; the setting was different from our usual church context.” This explanation was aimed at clarifying his stance and mitigating the ongoing debates surrounding the event.

Former Kogi politician, Dino Melaye, faces backlash from the public after he shared a video on social media of him abroad and living well through his luxurious lifestyle.
In the same video, he speaks about Nigeria’s current economy and shares his disappointment.
He wrote, “See country, God help us to build a true nation where our wicked leaders will be in jail and the right people in power. Nigeria must be fixed. YES WE CAN.”
However, many state that what he posted and what he is saying contradict each other, and they accused him of sharing his own records to know if he was a corrupt leader.
