The General Superintendent of the Deeper Christian Life Ministry, Pastor William Folorunso Kumuyi, has urged Nigerians to seek God’s intervention in addressing the insecurity confronting the country.
Pastor Kumuyi made the call while speaking with journalists after paying a courtesy visit to Benue State Governor Hyacinth Alia, who was represented by his deputy, Sam Ode, at the Government House. The visit was part of activities lined up for the week-long Global Crusade in Gboko and Otukpo Local Government Areas of the state.
According to the renowned cleric, God remains the ultimate solution to the nation’s challenges.
“We know that, when bad things happen, there are people who are responsible for it, but the people are not the solution. God is our problem solver.”
He added: “God is waiting for us. He said, ‘If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and turn away from their sins,’ He is ready to solve their problems.”
Kumuyi noted that the week-long Global Crusade in Gboko and Otukpo is one way of encouraging people to return to God and seek His help.
The cleric also applauded the progress recorded in Benue State, saying: “Benue is making remarkable progress in infrastructure and education, despite visible challenges around insecurity.”
Speaking during the visit, the Deputy Governor, Sam Ode, said Benue is richly endowed with agricultural and human resources, adding that the administration of Governor Hyacinth Alia remains committed to building a peaceful, united and inclusive where everyone can thrive.
The week-long Global Crusade in Gboko and Otukpo comes on the heels of Benue State’s 50th anniversary celebration, during which the government called on citizens to embrace peace and reconciliation.
Benue is among the states hardest hit by insecurity in recent years, with repeated attacks on communities by armed assailants forcing thousands of residents to flee their homes. Many displaced persons are still living in camps across the state, while the government and security agencies continue efforts to restore peace and facilitate the return of affected communities.
