Founder of Deeper Christian Life Ministry, William Kumuyi, has explained why leadership of the church will not be transferred to any of his biological sons.
Speaking on the issue of succession, Kumuyi said the ministry does not belong to him personally and therefore cannot be treated as family property.
“The reason why I will never hand over Deeper Life church to any of my biological sons is because the church doesn’t belong to me. It’s Jesus’ church,” he stated.
He added that no individual has the right to transfer ownership or leadership of the church to a family member on personal grounds.
The statement contributes to wider conversations around leadership succession and institutional continuity within major religious organisations in Nigeria.
Kumuyi did not indicate any immediate succession arrangement in the statement.
