“MY MORALE IS RAISED BY YOUR VISIT, PRESIDENT BUHARI TELLS PASTOR WILLIAM KUMUYI OF DEEPER LIFE CHURCH
“God did not make a mistake when he created over 250 different ethnic groups, and decided to put them in a place called Nigeria,” says President Muhammadu Buhari Monday in Abuja.
“We must appreciate God for bringing us together. He knows what he was doing. He didn’t make a mistake,’’ the President noted.
“We have challenges in trying to get people to understand us.
“With my experience as a governor, Minister of Petroleum, Head of State, Chairman of Petroleum Trust Fund, I thought I had seen it all, but Nigeria has a way of going at its own speed.
“My morale is raised by your visit. I very much appreciate it.”
In his remarks, Pastor Kumuyi said it was an honour to be received by the President on a busy day as October 1.
