William Kumuyi, a well-known Nigerian preacher, was invited to US President Donald Trump’s inauguration on January 20, 2025, but Trump denied the invitation, according to several Facebook posts. A post like this one says: Unbelievably, I never invited any Nigerian pastor named “KUMUYi” to my commencement.I’ve been subjected to absurd claims that I invited “Kumuyi,” a Nigerian pastor, to officially become president.
It’s completely phony news, I assure you. I’ve never met him, I don’t know him, and I’ve never extended an invitation to him.I have nothing to do with these so-called miracle pastors, and I don’t believe in them. My name should no longer be used by others to further their goals or advertise themselves. Stop lying! A link to an internet news item featuring the same words and images of Trump and Kumuyi is included in the post.
You may find the claim here and here as well. (Note: Refer to the list of further examples at the conclusion of the paper.) Trump invited Kumuyi, the general superintendent and founder of the Deeper Christian Life Ministry, attend the inauguration, according to several news outlets. Here, here, here, and here are a some of the reports.
This was confirmed in a news statement by the US-based communication consultant A. Larry Ross Communications. “William F. Kumuyi, Pastor of World’s 3rd Largest Church, to Attend President Trump’s Inauguration and Share Insights on the Global Shift of Christianity,” the title of the press release says.
However, did Trump claim that Kumuyi’s invitation to his inauguration was a hoax? We looked. The allegation is unsupported by any evidence. Trump claimed that Kumuyi was not invited to the presidential inauguration, but the Facebook posts offer no proof of this. None were discovered. However, there is proof that Kumuyi took part in the inauguration-related activities.
In a television interview, the preacher affirms that he will be attending the inaugural event. Additionally, we discovered a video of Kumuyi conducting a prayer session during one of the events commemorating Trump’s inauguration: the inauguration praise and prayer convocation. The assertion is untrue. Disseminating such a misleading statement could harm Kumuyi’s reputation and affect how the general public views him.CONTINUE FULL READING>>>>>
