Kumuyi urges Nigerians to embrace attitudinal change for better country

The General Overseer of Deeper Christian Life Ministry and convener of the Conference for Change Makers International (CMI), Pastor William Kumuyi, has urged Nigerians to embrace the right attitude for a better Nigeria.

According to Kumuyi, the country will experience transformation if everyone, particularly Christians and Muslims, embraces attitudinal change. The country will no doubt witness the right development.

Represented by the Ondo state overseer of the church, Pastor Jacob Asubiojo, Kumuyi, who is expected in the state on a six-day visit, stated this in Akure during the inauguration of CMI in the state.

He said: “We must understand that this is a paradigm shift from what we, either as Christians, Muslims, or other faith adherents, had known. It is a true call to the purpose of God for mankind beyond religiosity, denominations, and ethnicity.

“This is an all-important and unusual call where we are not to see ourselves either as Christians or as Moslems but as a people created by God that must take positive steps to lay a solid foundation for a better society and indeed a better world.

“Change Makers International is not just a gathering of like-minded individuals but a gathering to open the eyes of everyone to the fact to the fact that we need one another in setting goals and collectively achieving the desired vision; it is a call and commitment to action.”

The Chairman of the of the League of Imams in the state, Alhaji Ahmed Aladesawe, who commended the initiative, said that there was a need to put the nation on the right track again.

Aladesawe, who was represented by Alhaji Bashir Moshood, said, “The country is facing social, economic, and tribalism challenges today because we are not united, and we can only overcome these challenges if we are united and speak with one voice.

“Love your neighbour regardless of your religious background. A complete believer must love their neighbour, love yourself, let’s be united, and face out tribalism, ethnicity, and religion bias to move the country forward and achieve the needed development.”

The President of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN) in the state, Bishop Joshua Opayinka, lauded Kumuyi for the new idea and initiative, saying peace and development are synonymous in every nation.

On his part, the Deputy Governor of the state, Olayide Adelami, who was represented by his Chief of Staff, Ademola Falohun, said creating a conducive environment calls for the collective effort of all Nigerians.

He said, “Let’s unite; irrespective of our religion, this is for the development of this nation, but we must speak with one voice and be united.”
