The statement made on June 22, at Ilorin, Kwara State by the founder and general overseer of Deeper Christian Life Ministry Pastor William Kumuyi, on Muslim-Muslem ticket has been causing different reaction.
The church however have issued a statement today for clarification.
It reads:
“The Deeper Christian Life Ministry is aware of a news story on Muslim-Muslim ticket making the rounds and attributed to the General Superintendent of the church, Pastor William Kumuyi.
“For the sake of the public and need to clear the misrepresentation the story may have caused, the church considers it important to make clarifications.
“On Wednesday, June 22, at Ilorin, Pastor Kumuyi had paid a courtesy call on Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq of Kwara State after which he had a chat with newsmen.
“During the chat, Pastor Kumuyi appealed to all parties to take interest of Nigerians into consideration while making their choices in representing the people, adding that “the Muslim-Muslim or Christian-Christian ticket is a difficult and slippery area.
Kumuyi had said “So, what I will say is that the political office holders should look at the heartbeat of the country as well as desires of the people.
“Politicians should know that they are not there for themselves. They are there for all of us. They should ask and make their researches about what the country wants.”
“The pastor’s statement was not a political commentary aimed at attacking any personality in the country as wrongly portrayed and misrepresented by a section of the media.
“His admonition on the subject matter underscores his sincere concern for a better Nigeria and prayer for God’s guidance on the leadership of this country”
While urging members of the public to be wary of such misrepresentation, Pastor Kumuyi called on Nigerians to continue praying for the country and the manifestation of God’s will in Nigeria.
Kumuyi is one of the leading pastors known in Nigeria with many member across the globe.
