Pastor William Folorunsho Kumuyi, the general overseer of Deeper Life Bible Church, reportedly relocated to London, UK, as stated in a viral video. Kumuyi mentioned the church's growth and international presence, sparking mixed reactions online. However, some disputed the video's authenticity, claiming it was from years ago.
A video circulating on social media has sparked debates about the whereabouts of Pastor William Folorunsho Kumuyi, the renowned General Overseer and founder of the Deeper Life Bible Church. In the video, Kumuyi is seen stating that he is now based in London, United Kingdom, after relocating from Nigeria.
Kumuyi's statement has ignited mixed reactions among Nigerians online. While some criticized his decision to leave the country and establish himself in a foreign nation, others questioned the authenticity and timeliness of the video footage.
The controversy surrounding Kumuyi's relocation comes on the heels of a backlash he faced during the post-election period in August 2023. At the time, the highly respected clergyman had urged Nigerians to support the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, drawing criticism from those who disputed the legitimacy of Tinubu's electoral victory.
As the debate rages on social media, some netizens have expressed skepticism about the currency of the video, suggesting that the footage might be from several years ago. They argue that Kumuyi's statement about being based in London could be outdated, as he is known to travel extensively for his ministerial work.
Others, however, have taken the video at face value, accusing Kumuyi of hypocrisy for advocating support for Tinubu's administration while himself relocating to the UK. The disparities in opinions have fueled a heated discourse on social media, with both sides presenting their arguments.
Amidst the controversy, the Deeper Life Bible Church has yet to issue an official statement addressing Kumuyi's supposed relocation or the authenticity of the video in question. As the discussion continues, it remains to be seen whether further clarification will be provided to put the matter to rest or if the debates will persist, reflecting the polarized views on the issue.
