General Superintendent of Deeper Life Bible Church, Pastor W. F. Kumuyi, has described President Muhammadu Buhari’s fight against corruption as a step in the right direction.
“I am a layman when it comes to politics. But from what we can see, I believe that the President is in the right direction and if we support him with our comments and in other ways, I believe that we will see corruption brought down very quickly.” he said in a media chat on Sunday in Abia state.
He said the Church can help the President in the fight against corruption by teaching members to shun evil conducts and contribute positively to the progress of the country.
“When we say the church, we are not just talking about buildings; we are talking of people who come to church and also go to offices. For the church to support the fight against corruption, preachers must teach our people to learn how to contribute positively to the progress of the country wherever they are.
“If you are a governor, commissioner, teacher, minister and among others; do your best for the country. Don’t think of what you can get out of the place that you are working, but how they can contribute to the place in order to support the efforts of the government.”
He also advised political office holders to lead with the fear of God and always remember to fulfill their campaign promises, insisting that they must see themselves as servants of the people who elected them into office.
