We Will Continue to Pray for Buhari...Pastor Kumuyi

The Deeper Christian Life Ministry has congratulated Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd) on his victory at the recent presidential election and praised incumbent President Goodluck Jonathan for conceding defeat.

On behalf of the General Overseer, the Church Secretary, Pastor Jerry Asemota , during a media conference at the camp grounds of the church in Ogun State, said Jonathan had accomplished his divine purpose for which he was elected in 2011.

In his words, “No doubt, President Jonathan had an assignment God wanted him to fulfill. I believe he has fulfilled that assignment and the President-elect also has a specific assignment from God. The prayer of the church is that he too will know the responsibilities God has given to him for Nigeria without any distraction.”

“We wish him well and look forward to him getting things done in order to lift this nation beyond the level where we are now. The nation has been plagued by so many difficulties and problems, but we have been praying. That is the responsibility of the church, and God has been answering our prayers," he said.

The church secretary noted that past elections were conducted with a high level of desperation. He, therefore, described Jonathan's swift acceptance of defeat as a significant leap for the nation.
