He stated:
“That is the instruction God gave to us (to relocate). It is a very significant morning for us in this new phase of our assignment.That God we have to be here (in Kenya). I believe that every grace that is needed to make a nation proper is in the nation.”
His announcement came months after he made headlines for his outspoken remarks about the United States’ stance on Nigeria’s internal affairs.
At the time, US president Donald Trump had listed Nigeria among countries of concern over reported attacks on Christians.
Reacting during a church gathering, Lazarus dismissed the move as strategic rather than humanitarian, suggesting that foreign powers often have underlying motives when engaging in African affairs.
His comments did not sit well with many Nigerians, particularly online, where several users described his claims as misleading and unnecessarily alarmist.

"Social media can still spread your message across the world without you been there, there might be deeper reasons we don’t fully understand. Maybe those who felt affected by his words are satisfied now. He’s a good person and a strong voice for God, and I hope he goes on to achieve even greater things in Kenya."

Femi Lazarus accused of charging on Instagram
Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that a Nigerian filmmaker, Serah Donald Onyeachor, reacted to Pastor Femi Lazarus and Timi Dakolo’s online debate.
The Nollywood filmmaker posted a screenshot of Pastor Femi Lazarus charging a monthly Instagram subscription fee of N7900 for his IG followers to access more of his content.
According to her, everyone should be left alone for their reward to be in heaven while they charge their necessary fees here on earth.
She told churches to build schools that their congregation could afford and for pastors to stop moving around with security.
