Pastor Williams Kumuyi of Deeper Life Church has stirred discussions on social platform X (previously Twitter) after a video surfaced of him expressing optimism about President Bola Tinubu’s leadership and his team.
On Tuesday, before his church’s upcoming Global Crusade, Kumuyi told the media, “It’s time to move past previous grievances. It’s a fresh era, and I have faith we will witness beneficial changes for our nation through our President and his cabinet.”
This statement prompted a myriad of responses online:
LookwhoIbecame opined, “Religious figures seem to just prop up politicians. It’s really disheartening.”
ChukwunyeluOrji commented, “Religious leaders rank right after politicians in terms of causing harm to Nigeria.”
Tahila_O observed, “They’re seemingly trying to earn brownie points everywhere. The takeaway here seems to be to just focus on the good and ignore the bad deeds. God, however, weighs both.”
Nattychemical shared, “It’s disheartening to see God’s name used carelessly. Some religious leaders are merely political bootlickers misusing God’s name.”
Cadaver_A revealed, “Opting out of church has been my best life choice to date.”
KoredeOludiran simply said, “Nonsense.”
Yet, a handful have shown respect for Kumuyi’s perspective:
Stevekayma remarked, “Critics of the pastor’s statement can keep lamenting; let’s see where that gets them.”
Lukmansegun added, “Why the outcry over this? He merely advocated for support and positivity towards the new leadership. Had he criticized them, I bet some would’ve celebrated.”
