The General Superintendent of
the Deeper Life Bible Church, Pastor William Kumuyi, yesterday
expressed the believe that with the track record of President Muhammadu
Buhari and his vice, Professor Yemi Osibanjo, they can bring about the
change they promised during the campaigns.
Addressing
journalists at Kaduna airport after presiding over the revival crusade
and meeting with his church members at the weekend, Kumuyi reiterated
that considering past records of the Buhari and his vice, he was
optimistic of them fulfilling their promise.
His words, “I
believe that with the past records of the president, as well as the vice
president, I believe that they meant what they said during the
campaigns and I want to see that they will really focus on the drive to
bringing the change they actually spoke about and I believe we will see
change.”
Kumuyi said, “Anyone inposition of government
is there by the ordination of God, by the plan of God and so, should
rule with the fear of God,” as he called on the president to look at the
mistakes of the past government and correct those mistakes, so as to
move the country forward.
According to
him, “We should look at whatever mistakes the past government made and
see how to sincerely and genuinely correct those mistakes and not only
to dwell on the mistakes but move us forward, so we can have a better
country for a new generation of Nigerians.”
Speaking on the
role of the church in tackling corruption in Nigeria, he said the
church can help in combating the endemic corruption, saying corruption
is a sin against God and urged religious leaders to teach their members
to live righteous and godly life.
He said, “The
church cannot solve the problems of the whole country but obviously we
can solve part of the problems. We, who are preachers in churches should
help our people to understand that corruption is an evil thing, a sin
against God, a sin against society and a sin against humanity in
general.
“Therefore, our
ministers in the churches should see that we preach to help the people
live a life that is commendable, a life that is righteous and godly.
“Everybody is not in church, other leaders of religious groups should influence people who come to their places of worship, whether Christians or not, to see that we all join hands to combat corruption.
“Of course, the government too will do its own part among the civil servants, so that we can all join hands and fight against the monster of corruption.”
