Kumuyi Calls for Responsible Leadership
The General Superintendent of the Deeper Christian Life Ministry, Pastor Dr William F. Kumuyi, has urged Nigerian political leaders to prioritise the welfare of citizens.
He stressed that elected officials must never see themselves as being above the people who voted them into office. According to him, leaders must remain accountable to the electorate and fulfil the mandate given to them.
Kumuyi delivered this message during a courtesy visit to the palace of His Imperial Majesty, Ambassador Kevin Ngozi Anugwo, the Eze Ekpeye-Logbo III, in Ahoada, Rivers State.
