As reported by the Nigerian Tribune, the incident occurred at the ongoing Change Makers International (CMI) conference held at the General Yakubu Gowon Stadium in Elekahia, Port Harcourt, Rivers state.
Pastor Kumuyi said the decision to allow the Muslim clerics to speak from the pulpit was influenced by the venue of the event.
The 83-year-old man of God made this clarification in a video following controversy about the event on social media.
“People were asking, Pastor WF, what are you looking at, look at that man having his cap on. Yes, we are in the stadium, we are not in the church building, and so I do not have to challenge him, he has his cap on.”
Legit.ng recalls that Kumuyi sent a crucial message to Nigerians a few days after the nationwide protests on economic hardship and alleged bad governance.
He disclosed that for Nigerians to get the change they desired, they need to be selfless and not self-centred.
Kumuyi also explained why Nigerians should not "seek change the same way since the civil war."

Pastor Kumuyi said Christians should use their offering to feed the poor and unemployed people in their communities.
