CAMA: “You Either Obey The Law Or Manufacture Your Own Country” – FG Replies Oyedepo

Presidential aide, Lauretta Onochie, has replied the General overseer of the Living Faith Church, Bishop David
Oyedepo, over the comments he made while condemning the new Companies and Allied Matters Act, 2020, introduced by the Federal Government.

It was reported that Oyedepo had cautioned the federal government against meddling in the affairs of churches, saying “don’t try it when this crude prophet is alive”.

The clergyman, during his sermon on Sunday, August 16, expressed concern that the government could someday appoint occultists into those positions to oversee church affairs.

CAMA, which was recently assented to, had introduced new regulations for religious institutions in the country.

Its provisions included that religious and charity organisations would henceforth be regulated by a supervising minister and the registrar-general of Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC).

However, responding to Oyedepo’s outburst in a tweet on Monday, Buhari’s media aide, Onochie, said that, Oyedepo would do as he’s told by the laws governing the country or create his own country.

Here's what she wrote;

“Oyedepo will have to manufacture his own country and live by his own laws.

“As long as he lives and operates within the entity called Nigeria, he will live by Nigerian rules and laws. He will do as he’s told by the law. Enough of lawlessness.”
