The General Superintendent of the Deeper Life Bible Church, Pastor Williams Kumuyi, has called on Muslims and other religious bodies to unite with Christians to promote good governance and foster unity in the country.
Kumuyi said the unity would transcend boundaries and unite all for a common purpose to drive positive change as well as foster social impact.
He made this call at the inauguration of the Change Makers International, CMI, conference in Akure, Ondo State capital.
He said: “We must understand that this is a paradigm shift from what we, either as Christians, Muslims or other faith adherents, had known. It is a true call to the purpose of God for mankind beyond religiosity, denominations and ethnicity.
“Change Makers International is not just a gathering of like-minded individuals but a gathering to open the eyes of everyone that we need one another in setting goals and collectively achieving the desired vision.
“It is a pledge to work tirelessly, hand in hand, to tackle many pressing issues and dysfunctions bedevilling our communities, nation and our planet. Whether in engendering a friendly, peaceful, secured environment as well as building sustainable communal relationships, promoting social justice, or empowering marginalised groups.”
Also speaking, Ondo Deputy Governor, Olayide Adelami, who was represented by his Chief of Staff, Ademola Falohun, said the creation of a conducive environment called for the collective effort of all Nigerians.
He said: “Let’s unite, irrespective of our religion; this is for the development of this nation but we must speak with one voice and be united.”
