VIDEO: Deeper Life’s Pastor Kumuyi Relocates To UK After Urging Nigerians To Back Tinubu

Pastor William Folorunsho Kumuyi, the general overseer and founder of the Deeper Life Bible Church, has relocated to London, United Kingdom.

He stated this in a viral video posted on social media during an interview with an unknown media platform in the UK.

In the interview, Pastor Kumuyi said, “Well, I’m from Nigeria, but I’m based in London, United Kingdom now. We belong to the Deeper Life Bible Church, and the Bible Church started in 1973 with 15 people, but now in Nigeria, we’re about one million in membership.”

He stated that the church has expanded to over 60 countries worldwide, with 40 branches in the UK alone.

Pastor Kumuyi’s statement sparked mixed reactions from Nigerians on social media, who criticised him for leaving Nigeria and relocating to a foreign nation.

During the post-election period in August 2023, the highly respected clergyman suffered a backlash from netizens when he charged Nigerians to back the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, who was at the time fighting for his mandate in court due to controversies about his victory at the polls and his educational history.

Kumuyi advised Nigerians to stop criticising the President’s actions, saying that if they accept his administration, God will walk through Tinubu and use him and his cabinet members as instruments to build Nigeria.

He said, “If you look at the new ministers one by one, you’ll see the good things they’ve done either as state governors of the past or as former ministers, and I would say they have been carefully chosen.

“If we support and accept them and if we are not criticising their every step, we believe that God will walk through them and use them as instruments to build our nation.”
