Pastor William Kumuyi, General Superintendent of the Deeper Life Bible Church, has urged for peace, security, and progress in Nigeria as the Global Crusade with Kumuyi (GCK) prepares to hold in Ogun State.

Kumuyi made these remarks during a visit to the traditional ruler of Ota, Prof. Adeyemi Obalanlege, in anticipation of the crusade set to begin on Wednesday at the Anglican Grammar School in Ota. Responding to journalists about the nation's security situation, the cleric emphasized that peace and security are universal desires for all citizens. He affirmed that prayers are ongoing for divine intervention in the country's affairs.

As for what is our desire for our country, what is the desire of everyone, every citizen? One: peace, security and progress in our land. We are praying, and He knows how to answer that prayer and how to give us all the security we need in the land.
