Deeper Life Pastor Resigns over Kumuyi support for Tinubu Administration.
Ogueze Venitius Chinyerugo, the district pastor of Deeper Life Bible Church in Nnewi, Anambra State, tendered his resignation.
According to Sun Newspaper reports, Pastor Chinyerugo cited the perceived political alignment of the church’s general superintendent and leader, William Kumuyi, with the administration of President Bola Tinubu as the reason for his resignation.
The simmering tension came to a head following a series of remarks made by Pastor Kumuyi that suggested his support for President Tinubu’s government. These comments have sent ripples of discontent through the ranks of the church’s congregation, ultimately prompting Pastor Chinyerugo to take the drastic step of resigning from his pastoral position.
The news of Pastor Chinyerugo’s resignation has rippled through the Deeper Life community and beyond, leaving many bewildered and divided. Some see his decision as a principled stance against the mingling of religion and politics, while others perceive it as a rift within the church’s leadership.
The resignation comes at a time when religious leaders’ involvement in politics is a subject of intense debate in Nigeria. It remains to be seen how this development will impact the congregation and the larger religious landscape, as well as how Deeper Life Bible Church will navigate this challenging moment in its history.
