The Director of Social Communications, Catholic Archdiocese of
Lagos, Monsignor Gabriel Osu, reacting to Pastor Kumuyi’s proclamation
about the celebration of Christmas, said:
“I don’t know what he means by saying the practice of celebrating
Christmas is wrong. “Is he saying that Christ wasn’t born? That he
didn’t come to die for us? Does he not celebrate his own birthday?
"Do Kumuyi’s pastors not celebrate him? It is not everything I react to;
some people just seek attention. If Kumuyi is a Christian, then he must
believe in Christ.
