INSISTS NIGERIA IS OUT OF RECESSION
18TH
DECEMBER, 2017
PRESIDENT Muhammadu Buhari has felicitated
with members and the General Overseer of the Word Bible Church, Prophet Julius
Kumoluyi on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the Church and reiterated
that Nigeria was out of recession.
President
Buhari in a message to the Church also urged Nigerians to keep faith with his
administration, saying the country’s revived economy will soon bring reliefs to
the people.
In
the message signed by his Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi
Adesina and read to the congregation at the grand finale of the week-long
celebration, the president said the citizenry would be better for it when the
positive impacts of the turn around in the economy started manifesting.
On
the occasion of the church’s 25th anniversary, which coincided with
its 10th National convention with the theme: “The Invisible God”
President Buhari also thanked Prophet Kumoluyi and the church for their prayers
for him during the period of his sickness.
Commending
the man of God for his humility, integrity and prayer life, the President
described him as a religious leader “known for his love for God and passion for
souls”, saying “he is a rare gem as a Shepherd of the church.”
He
restated the commitment of the federal government to the wellbeing and welfare
of the Nigeria people.
Speaking
to newsmen after the event held at the church’s headquarters in Ketu, Lagos
State, Prophet Kumoluyi said, “25 years down the line, God had been faithful to
the church and the country at large.”
Prophet
Kumoluyi, who disclosed that the church has many challenges to contend in the
last 25 years of its existence, said “God has been sustaining me and the entire
congregation in an unusual way.
“It
gladdens my heart to witness the 25th anniversary of the World Bible
Church. Many storms here and there over the years but we have been able to
weather the storms through the grace and mercy of God.”
On
his assessment of over two year’s President Buhari led administration, the man
of God commended the government’s efforts at ensuring peace and stability in
the country.
