In a statement released on Saturday by the Presidency, President Tinubu described Pastor Kumuyi as a remarkable servant of God whose unwavering faith, wisdom, and dedication have shaped one of Nigeria’s most influential Christian ministries over the past five decades.

The President noted that under Pastor Kumuyi’s leadership, Deeper Christian Life Ministry has grown into a global evangelical movement, impacting millions of lives through its teachings, outreach programmes, and spiritual guidance.

Tinubu also highlighted the influence of the Global Crusade with Kumuyi (GCK), describing it as a platform that has carried messages of hope, faith, and transformation beyond Nigeria’s borders to audiences around the world.

According to the President, Pastor Kumuyi’s numerous publications and teachings have inspired generations of believers, providing spiritual direction and encouragement to people seeking purpose and truth.
