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 was reported that former Nigerian president Goodluck Jonathan has allegedly purchased a presidential candidate form for the 2027 elections.
It can be noted that Jonathan served as Nigeria’s president from 2010 to 2015.
This information was revealed by Sani Useni, a special assistant who made the claim. Many reacted to the news, with some expressing interest in seeing Jonathan return to power after staying relatively quiet politically since his administration ended.
However, Jonathan has not yet addressed the public or officially shared any presidential ambition.
The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has reacted to the recent abduction incident in Oyo State.
It can be recalled that schools were attacked by armed men, with some teachers and students reportedly taken. Some people were also killed during the attack.
CAN cried out on behalf of the public, stating “It is intolerable, disgraceful and utterly unacceptable that Nigerian children can no longer sit safely in classrooms without the fear of being kidnapped by armed gangs.”
The organisation also stated that Nigerians are tired of constantly mourning and questioning when something will finally be done to stop the violence.
The Governor of Oyo State, Seyi Makinde, has revealed that seven teachers were abducted following a recent attack on a school in the state.
It was also shared that the number of students taken is still being investigated.
The governor further revealed that some people were killed during the attack and abduction.
He also added “With the pressure on the terrorists and the bandits in the North-West, they will keep moving southward.”
“When you have pressure in one place, we must be prepared on this side to either repel or neutralise any terrorists fleeing the pressure points.”
