My morale is raised by your visit, President Buhari tells Pastor Williams Kumuyi of the Deeper life church
President Muhammadu Buhari received the General Overseer of the Deeper life Bible Church at the state house in Abuja. Buhari was quick to show how important the Pastor's visit is to the state house.
Buhari said"God did not make a mistake when he created over 250 different ethnic groups, and decided to put them in a place called Nigeria.
"Receiving the General Suprintendent of the Deeper Life Bible Church, Pastor Williams Folorunsho Kumuyi, at the Presidential villa, Nigeria must appreciate God for bringing everyone together.
"We must appreciate God for bringing us together. He knows what he is doing, he didn't make a mistake, Buhari noted.
Describing Nigeria as "a great country" endowed with Human and natural resources, the President said.
"We have challenge in trying to get people to understand us. With my experience as a Governor of a state, Minister Petroleum, Head of State, Chairman of Petroleum Trust Fund, I thought I had seen all but Nigeria has a way of going at its own speed.
"My morale is raised by your visit. I very much appreciate it.
President Buhari recalled what he described as Pastor Kumuyi's " intellectual achievements" as a scholar and University lecturer before going into full time ministry, adding that he was "excited a great deal" for the General Superintendent's acceptance of Government's invitation to preach the sermon at the country's 58th Independent Anniversary.
"Thank you very much, the President said.
In his remarks, Pastor Kumuyi, who leads on of the largest Pentecostal churches, said it was an honour to be received by the President on a busy day as October 1.
He told the President that he appreciate the Government.
"Please remain focused and courageous and do what is right. Not everybody will support you in public, but we are praying for you do that your tenure will be one of progress and prosperity for the country."
The General Superintendent was accompanied by his wife, Esther, Pastor Samuel Afuwape, Pastor Chike Onwuasoanya and Pastor Seyin Malomo, the Chaplain of Aso rock Chapel.
