The obligation of successful people to write their stories, to share the histories of phenomena they have become, in order to instruct, to admonish, and to inspire, would change the world to a better society, according to Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, SAN.

Prof. Osinbajo stated this today in Lagos, at the presentation of the biography of the General Superintendent of the Deeper Christian Life Ministry, Pastor W. F. Kumuyi, jointly written by Banji Ojewale, Segun Babatope, Emeka Ezeze and Tunde Opeibi

According to him, “every person, especially those who succeed in their endeavours in life, owes society three taxes. The first is income taxes – personal income tax, and if you own a company, company, or corporation tax.

“The second is a social tax, another name for that is philanthropy. The obligation of the wealthy to give back to society.

“The third tax is a civic tax; the obligation of the successful to write their stories, to share the histories of the phenomena they have become, in order to instruct, to admonish and to inspire the present and the future.”

In summation of taxes citizens are obligated to pay, the VP added that there is a fourth tax. This he called “the Pentecost Tax,” which he said was for successful preachers of the gospel.

“But for the successful preacher of the gospel of Jesus Christ, there is the fourth tax, this is the Pentecost Tax. The obligation of men and women since the day of Pentecost, the day described in Acts 2 when the Holy Spirit empowered the disciples to preach the gospel, to tell the story of their missionary journeys. The miracles, signs, and wonders that God has wrought on that journey, the deprivations, the fastings, and the persecutions. The victories and failures, the mountains and the valleys.โ€

According to the Vice President, “this is a huge responsibility. But the saints before us discharged that responsibility so we are the beneficiaries of the Acts of the Apostles, the stories of the men and women who carried the gospel first to Jerusalem, Judea, and Samaria and to the ends of the earth.

โ€œTheir stories have encouraged generations of Christians since, their recorded experiences may seem to make them stars, but they are meant to instruct us in adherence to sound doctrine, to rebuke us and instruct us unto righteousness.โ€

Continuing, Prof. Osinbajo said the book, “Kumuyi – the Defender of the Faith,” is the continuation of the baton handed down over to our generation since the day of Pentecost.

While unveiling the book, he stated that “the book, Kumuyi the Defender of the Faith, begins the work of discharging the Pentecostal tax obligation of Pastor Kumuyi. The book tells the story of the incredible work of the Holy Spirit in his life and Ministry. How by His grace, he not only preached and continues to preach holiness to a whole generation, but lived and lives it himself daily.

Giving a summary of the book, the Vice President mentioned that, โ€œthe book tells the story of how the Holy Spirit worked miracles through him (Kumuyi) and how from a Bible study group of 15 members in 1973, the ministry grew to what is now the Deeper Christian Life Ministry and at one point, with 120,000 members, making it the third-largest single congregation in the world.โ€

Admiring the General Superintendent of Deeper Christian Life Ministry, Prof Osinbajo said, โ€œPastor Kumuyi has kept faith with the great commission, preaching the gospel to all persons, without compromise or embellishment, keeping his eyes and focus on Jesus, and keeping faith with the words of that Deeper Life anthem – โ€œJesus is our only message, Jesus all our thence shall be. We will lift up Jesus forever. Jesus only will we see.โ€

Commending the authors for persuading Pastor Kumuyi to accept writing the book, the Vice President noted that “this is not really a book about Pastor Kumuyi, it is about the grace and mercies of God in the life of His servant, and how by His mercies, his servant Kumuyi has in the words of the Scripture that is said to be on the backdrop of every Deeper Life pulpit the world over, is fulfilling the instruction to โ€œearnestly contend for the faith once delivered unto the saints,โ€ according to Jude 1:3.

While delivering his speech, the keynote speaker, Prof. Dapo Asaju, used Chief Obafemi Awolowo and writings about great bible characters such as Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and the Acts of the Apostles, as examples, urging Nigerians to write down their experiences for future beneficiaries.

In his address titled “Leadership, Integrity, and Transparency,” Prof. Asaju said the exemplary lives of people like Pastor W. F. Kumuyi, would help change the life of corruption which has ravaged the country.

Also in his remarks, the Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, praised Pastor Kumuyi for his leadership, integrity, and holiness in the service to God.

In his response, Pastor Kumuyi, said he did not know about the writing of the book, but he gave his approval when the authors approached him. He also said God called him in 1964 and sent him to preach the gospel of His love to humanity.

Published

In the annals of Nigeria’s history, certain leaders leave an indelible mark on the nation’s journey toward greatness. His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, stands tall among such figures. His unwavering commitment to national development and democratic consolidation has earned him widespread recognition as the Architect of Nigeria’s Progress.

No wonder the Tinubu Support Organization, TSO Worldwide, under its visionary Founder and Director-General, Junior Jagaban Honourable Aminu Suleiman are unrelenting in championing the continuity of this Administration beyond 2027!

President Tinubu represents a powerful symbol of resilience, strategic leadership, dedication to public service. His political journey began from modest beginnings, rose steadily to the highest office in the land, continues to inspire millions of Nigerians, particularly young people who aspire to contribute positively to the growth of their communities and the nation at large.

Through a leadership style rooted in vision, courage, and inclusiveness, President Tinubu has consistently demonstrated his ability to unite diverse interests and mobilize collective energy for national advancement. His administration’s Renewed Hope Agenda has provided a clear direction for economic revitalization, institutional strengthening, and grassroots driven development across the country.

President Tinubu’s approach to governance reflects a deep understanding of Nigeria’s diversity and the need for national cohesion. As Jagaban Borgu Kingdom and Asiwaju of Lagos, he has long championed the values of dialogue, collaboration, and inclusive leadership. By engaging leaders across political, regional, and ethnic divides, he continues to foster unity and reinforce a shared sense of national purpose among Nigerians.

As Nigeria navigates the opportunities and challenges of the twenty first century, the Renewed Hope Agenda remains a guiding framework for sustainable development and national transformation. From infrastructure renewal to economic reforms, security strengthening to agricultural productivity, and from education to healthcare improvement, the administration has continued to pursue policies aimed at repositioning Nigeria for long term stability and prosperity.

Under President Tinubu’s leadership, bold reforms have been initiated to address structural challenges and unlock the country’s vast economic potential. His administration has demonstrated a firm commitment to strengthening institutions, improving economic management, stabilizing the foreign exchange environment, expanding agricultural output, and improving the quality of life for ordinary Nigerians.

Equally significant is President Tinubu’s dedication to strengthening Nigeria’s democracy. He has remained a strong advocate of inclusive governance, encouraging dialogue, consensus building, and mutual understanding among Nigeria’s many communities. Through these efforts, his administration continues to reinforce democratic values and promote peaceful coexistence across the federation.

President Tinubu’s leadership has repeatedly shown that Nigeria’s diversity is not a weakness but a powerful asset. By harnessing this diversity through inclusive policies and national engagement, the administration continues to build a stronger and more united nation.

As the Architect of Nigeria’s Progress, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu remains steadfast in his pursuit of a prosperous, united, and forward looking Nigeria. His leadership reflects the enduring power of vision, determination, and service to the people. President Tinubu’s legacy is steadily taking shape as one defined by courage, reform, and national transformation.

The impact of his leadership will continue to resonate for generations as Nigeria advances on the path of progress and renewed national confidence.

As I have often maintained, “the growing support for His Excellency President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, across communities and among patriotic Nigerians reflects a deep appreciation of his courageous reforms and his unwavering commitment to national development. With the steady progress already being recorded under the Renewed Hope Agenda, the re-election of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu stands increasingly reassured as Nigerians continue to rally behind a leader whose vision is firmly anchored on unity, stability, and lasting prosperity.”

Looking ahead to the future, it is increasingly clear that the momentum behind the Renewed Hope Agenda is only gaining strength. Across communities, political structures, and among the nation’s vibrant youth population, there is a growing consensus that the reforms and transformative policies initiated under President Tinubu must be consolidated beyond the present term.

As Nigeria continues on this path of recovery and renewal, the call for continuity in leadership is becoming louder, reinforcing the belief that the re election of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu in 2027 will serve as a decisive step toward securing lasting prosperity, national unity, and sustainable development for generations to come.

Furthermore, President Tinubu’s emphasis on empowering youth and women has led to increased participation of these groups in national development, contributing to a more inclusive and equitable society.

The administration’s efforts to address insecurity and promote peace have also yielded positive results, creating a more stable environment for economic growth and investment.

With these achievements, Nigerians are optimistic about the future, and the Renewed Hope Agenda continues to inspire confidence in the nation’s potential for greatness.
