President Muhammadu Buhari has felicitated with Pastor William Folorunsho Kumuyi of the Deeper Christian Life Ministry on the occasion of his 80th birthday.
In a statement released by one of his aides, Femi Adesina, the president wished the Christian cleric greater service to God and humanity, in good health and sound mind.
He recalled how Kumuyi and his wife, Esther radiated warmth, and their love and prayers for the country during their meeting at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, in 2018.
The president advised the younger preachers to take a cue from the octogenarian, and intercede for Nigeria and people in positions of authority.
Part of the statement read:
"As Pastor Kumuyi reaches the milestone, the President prays that his vision for the country will be realized, and the works of his hands will continue to prosper."
Read the full message in the Facebook post below:
Kumuyi, one of the most respected pastors in Nigeria, was born on June 6, 1941.
We can believe Kumuyi
Legit.ng had reported how Adesina on Thursday, April 29, pointed to Pastor Kumuyi as one Christian cleric citizens should emulate.
The presidential aide said Nigerians rarely hear his voice in public when it comes to secular or controversial issues.
Directing Nigerians' attention to a message by the cleric, Adesina noted that stereotyping, stigmatisation, and pointing accusing fingers at specific ethnic groups are actually parts of the problem, not the solution.
Are you ready for the rapture?
Kumuyi on his Twitter page on Sunday, November 22, warned people around the world that the rapture of true saints is at hand.
The man of God asked if people were ready for the rapture and Nigerians took to the comment section to share diverse opinions.
While some said a good number of people will not make it, others were of the opinion that they still like it here on earth, adding that others can go with the rapture.
