“The world and Nigeria are riddled with violence, hate, vengeance and human mystery, and these two individuals with their words and deeds have continued to profess love, peace and brotherhood, not only in Nigeria, but across the world.
“In the year 2024, Nigeria in particular, witnessed an upsurge of violence, hate and disaffection, driven by faith and ethnicity, these two individuals, stirred the whirlwind of harmony in every part of the world where their religious institutions have strongholds.
“While others used religion to advance hatred and parochial political and ethnic goals, Pastors Kumuyi and Adeboye converted their multiple platforms to the advancement of peace and good neighbourliness.”
Despite various attacks from their opponents, Adeoye noted that their responses were measured, cultured and propelled by godliness.
“Among over 60 million Yoruba people all over the world, these two individuals remain some of the very few that, though hold no political positions, can knock and open the doors of any president or prime minister all over the world.
“Even though local authorities have not given them recognition, their stars continue to shine all over the world to the glory of the Yoruba nation,” the statement added as Irohinoodua honors William Kumuyi & Enoch Adeboye.
