The General Superintendent of the Deeper Life Bible Church, Pastor William Kumuyi, has called on Nigerian government leaders to focus on selecting the best minds to drive the country’s development. Speaking at a press conference ahead of the church’s National December Retreat and Global Crusade, he emphasized the importance of leaders listening to the voices of all segments of society.
“We are all aware of the current situation in the country, and every segment of society has expressed their expectations. The youth have made their expectations known, as have women and other groups, even if their methods may not always be appreciated by those in leadership. However, it is crucial to extract the underlying messages from their actions and voices,” Kumuyi stated.
He urged leaders at all levels—local, state, and federal—to fulfill their responsibility of listening to the populace. “Since they were chosen to bring progress to the nation, the people have the right to demand accountability and responsiveness. Leaders must develop thorough and actionable plans to address these issues and move the country forward,” he added.
Kumuyi also highlighted the importance of utilizing the country’s pool of talent and expertise, including individuals outside formal governance structures. “By tapping into these resources, we can ensure that the nation improves in all aspects of governance and development,” he explained.
The upcoming retreat is scheduled to take place at the Deeper Life International Conference Centre from December 20 to 25, 2024, aiming to foster spiritual renewal and national transformation. Kumuyi described the event as a time for reflection on the past, present, and future, with hopes for transformation in lives, families, and the nation.
He noted the success of previous editions of the Global Crusade with Kumuyi (GCK), citing remarkable breakthroughs. “The GCK over the years has experienced tremendous breakthroughs by God’s grace. God has promised us all things under heaven, and we trust that He will prove Himself mightily. He has already done marvelous things, and as we gather for this year’s climax, we anticipate miracles, deliverance, and transformed lives. Every miracle we need will be available, and we believe things will turn around for the better in our nation,” Kumuyi concluded.
