‘God deliver us from shepherds that support…injustice,’ Fani-Kayode hits Deeper Life leader, Kumuyi

Former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode, has attacked the General Superintendent of the Deeper Christian Life Ministry, Pastor William Kumuyi, over alleged comment that Christians should not criticise President Muhammadu Buhari.

Fani-Kayode apparently sad with the comment, asked God to deliver Christians from church leaders that slaughter the sheep, defend the cruel, support injustice, love the wicked, and serve the tyrant.

Kumuyi had during his sermon at the Deeper Life Bible Church Headquarters, Gbagada, Lagos on Sunday, made the alleged comment, adding that true Christians must obey constituted authorities and shun violence.

But responding in a statement on his Twitter handle, Fani-Kayode quoting the clergy said, “Don’t attack Buhari”- Kumuyi.

The former minister then wrote, “God deliver us from shepherds that slaughter the sheep, that defend the cruel, that support injustice, that love the wicked, that serve the tyrant, that despise the weak, that enslave the poor and that worship genocidal maniacs and sociopathic butchers.”

Fani-Kayode remains one of President Muhammadu Buhari and his administration ardent critics.
