Pastor W.F. Kumuyi, founder and General Superintendent of the Deeper Christian Life Ministry (DCLM), has strongly refuted reports attributing political statements to him, describing them as “malicious” and “entirely false.”
In an official statement shared on his verified X handle, @pastorwf_kumuyi, the revered cleric dismissed as fabricated a viral story published by a platform identified as Ibomfocus, which claimed he had accused the United States of attempting to “steal Nigeria’s natural resources” and denied the existence of a Christian genocide in the country.
“The story with the headline, ‘America is Trying to Steal our Natural Resources; There is No Christian Genocide in Nigeria, says Pastor Kumuyi’, is a total fabrication and the figment of the imagination of its authors,” the DCLM statement read.
“Pastor Kumuyi did not at any time address a press conference or make the aforementioned statement in Lagos. He has been away from Nigeria for a considerable length of time, holding programmes in the Oceania region and the Far East.”
The Ministry stressed that Pastor Kumuyi’s lifelong commitment remains solely to preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ and that he does not involve himself in political discussions.
“Besides, Pastor Kumuyi is well known for focusing entirely on preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ. He does not dabble into politics, as the false story mentioned above seemed to suggest,” the statement noted.
Warning those behind such fabrications to desist, the church stated firmly that continued attempts to drag the General Superintendent into political controversies may in future attract appropriate action.
“The Ministry warns all those bent on mischief by seeking to drag our General Superintendent into politics, or fabricating stories in his name, to desist from such venture. In the future, any such activity may attract action,” the DCLM said.
In a separate post on his personal handle, Kumuyi reiterated that any recent news reports or public statements being attributed to him are false.
“Pastor Kumuyi is fully engaged with the Global Crusade with Kumuyi (@TheGCKHQ), which has recently held events in Fiji, the Solomon Islands, and Pakistan. He has not granted any recent press interviews or made public statements on other matters,” the clarification stated.
He appealed to the media to exercise greater responsibility in their reporting. “We kindly request that all media outlets retract this false information and commit to verifying all future reports before publication,” Kumuyi urged.
