Obey CAMA law or manufacture your own country …..Buhari’s aide tells Oyedepo

 Obey CAMA law or manufacture your own country …..Buhari’s aide tells Oyedepo

By Adekunle Badmus

Media aide to President Muhammadu Buhari, Lauretta Onochie has told the Founder and General Overseer of the Living Faith Church (Winners Chapel), Bishop David Oyedepo, to live with the contents of the Company and Allied Matters Acts (CAMA) or get out of the country.

Onochie was obviously reacting to Oyedepo’s criticism of certain parts of the CAMA as it relates to Nigerian churches and other places of worship.

Oyedepo, speaking during his weekly Sunday service yesterday, warned that the church is directly connected to God and therefore does not operate under the rules of men.

Under the new CAMA law signed on August 7 by President Buhari, religious bodies (churches and mosques) as well as charity organisations, will be strictly regulated by the Registrar-General of Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) and a supervising minister.

Oyedepo however said such laws were borne out of the jealousy of “wicked leaders” about the prosperity recorded by Nigerian churches and men of God.

But in her reaction on her Twitter page, Onochie declared that Oyedepo will have to live by the laws of Nigeria or manufacture his own country.

Her tweet reads: “Hope this is not true. If it is, 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.”
