Nigeria needs inward transformation, says Kumuyi

The general superintendent of the Deeper Christian Life Ministry, William Kumuyi, has urged Nigeria’s leaders and citizens to seek inward transformation as a pathway to national renewal.
Mr Kumuyi made the call in a media chat with journalists at the Port Harcourt International Airport, Omagwa, Rivers, on Tuesday.
The cleric, who spoke against the backdrop of his forthcoming “Global Crusade with Kumuyi” in Port Harcourt, said the aim was to bring spiritual and social transformation to individuals, communities, and the nation at large.
He described the programme with the theme “Turning Point” as a catalyst for positive change across all sectors of society.
Mr Kumuyi acknowledged citizens’ concerns about governance in the country. He stressed that both leaders and followers must seek a personal turning point reflected in their public conduct.
He added that actions taken by individuals, whether in politics, business, or institutions, form part of their enduring legacy.
“If we think about the legacy we want to leave behind, it is to our advantage to have an internal turning point that benefits families and the community,” he said.
The cleric urged leaders to embrace humility and seek divine guidance in discharging their responsibilities, noting that positive internal change would ultimately translate into national transformation and sustainable development.
He added that when influencers and decision-makers experienced such a transformation, it would positively impact policies, the economy, and other critical sectors.
The cleric stressed that a turning point ‘’does not occur in isolation but spreads through lives that have been impacted.’’
Mr Kumuyi also prayed for a collective turning point for citizens and the nation, saying that such a change would usher in a new era of progress in the country.
