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.
It has been reported that Niger State and some northern states have come together and agreed to take down 979 forests in order to strengthen national security.
This was revealed by the Niger State Governor, represented by his deputy, Yakubu Garba, at the passing-out parade in Mutum Daya.
He also shared that the government will support in any way they can in order to achieve this and strengthen security in Nigeria.
“The state will make necessary arrangements to support and empower the Forest Guard families for their service to the nation. We will provide them with adequate healthcare insurance scheme.”
Nigerian news analyst, Mahmud Jega, has shared his opinion on the recent airstrike carried out by the United States in Nigeria, stating that Nigerians should not blame President Bola Tinubu for the incident.
Jega made this statement during a recent interview, where he said he does not believe many people will hold the Tinubu administration responsible, as Donald Trump had issued threats against Nigeria long before Tinubu’s administration.
“No, I don’t think many people will blame the Tinubu administration for what is happening now because President Donald Trump, when he first made the threats, it was clearly not in coordination with the Tinubu administration or the government of Nigeria,” Jega said.
It has been reported that the United States carried out an airstrike targeting ISIS in the northwest region of Nigeria. The order was reportedly given by former U.S. President Donald Trump.
“Tonight, at my direction as Commander in Chief, the United States launched a powerful and deadly strike against ISIS terrorist elements in northwest Nigeria,” Trump said.
He added, “I have previously warned these terrorists that if they did not stop the slaughtering of Christians, there would be hell to pay, and tonight, there was.”
