General Superintendent of Deeper Life Bible Church, Pastor W.F. Kumuyi
In a recent interview by
Daily Sun, the General Superintendent of Deeper Life Bible Church, Pastor W.F. Kumuyi who was recently in Abuja for
crusades organised by his church in some cities in the North Central has asked Nigerians to be expectant as he reveals that change will come.
When asked about the state of the nation and what Nigerians should expect in the remaining years of President Muhammadu Buhari's government, he said:
"I think in a country like ours, we should respect each person’s opinion and what you have voiced out everybody should respect. There should be freedom of speech, freedom of thought and freedom of making conclusions but it doesn’t mean that whatever conclusion each person reaches is indeed the final say. When we talk of change, change takes place in different ways and it depends on the condition; so depending on the level of deterioration before you see the actual change.
"When the new government was campaigning; they said change was our policy, it is our watchword, our vision and because we all wanted change we voted them in but now as they came in, we cannot just begin to block this, pull this, drive this and all that; we have to understudy how long it takes to understudy what changes they will make. That depends on them because I am not there and after they have done that, they now have to say we need change in these different areas; what direction do we go, who are the people to make this change and so you have the appointments coming. We have thousands, perhaps millions of people in this country that can fit into these positions and the people who are going to make the selection will have to judge; they will have to say the change we want to make; this person will assist me in making this change, this thing that this other person will do but he is the one that will want to work with this person and so he makes this change.
"The way we look at it, to say this is lopsided, we have five people from the East, we have two people from the North, we have only one person from the South, what is happening here? Let’s sit together, let’s talk together, let’s see why did he make this change; why did he put this person there and is that because of where he is going or because of any other thing. I think if we talk together like that, it will help us not to misjudge, it will help us to assist, then if we have to advise, we will advise and say do it this way, do it this way and if he sees that we are having a good intention, we are supporting the change; maybe these people will listen to us. I want to say that whatever time it takes them, let them eventually give us the change and I believe that with prayer and understanding and coordination as well as unity, we are going to see the change."
