CAMA: ‘Obey the law or leave Nigeria’, presidency tells Oyedepo

Presidential aide, Lauretta Onochie, has responded to the presiding Bishop of Living Faith Church, David Oyedepo, over the comments he made regarding the new Companies and Allied Matters Act, 2020.

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

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

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 fiery Preacher, during his sermon on Sunday, expressed concern that the government could someday appoint occultists into those positions to oversee church affairs.

But responding in a tweet on Monday, Buhari’s media aide, Onochie, said it’s either Oyedepo lived by the laws governing the country or he should create his own country.

“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,” said the presidential aide

    1. Now that’s utter rubbish. The church is NOT a profit organization, so it should not be treated as such. In Ephesians 5:25, it clearly states that the love Christ has for the church, is equivalent to that of a spouse. They should better not try to meddle in the Lord’s business, or they won’t like the result. And they better not anger Bishop oyedepo. When he talks, things happen.

  6. Am told that some unscrupulous group somewhere are instigating this woman to act against our fathers in d Lord. This same insane and unholy individuals are without conscience, they have no fear of self nor God. They believe in their earthly powers. Let me tell you if an Ant is talking carelessly and arrogantly to an Elephant hm! There’s something wrong somewhere. Don’t just blame the small Ant,there is One big devil pushing the Ant. You see if Our fathers in the Lord are wealthy it’s worth the whale because they face a lot. Is not easy to be a Pastor,if na only self denial alone, marathon prayer, dry/white fasting, intercession/ intercessory prayers, no sleeping most nights, abstinence this or that. Why do u think this particular set of people are not worth all this escalated and more I have not said here. And any small mistake the whole world go hear,ha! Pastor. Let me tell u if u are not called you can stand the test of time. My brother is not easy to be called. We all know the story of Prophet Jonah and. He ran, he refused, he knew what he will face. I’m here as your brother to clear the surfs and throw more light on who men of God are. We are the ones to explain to them what our Pastors are. They are not mere as they think. They are Oracles and mouth piece of God. And that no man born of a woman is made judge over them. Only Baba God can deal with them not man. So my sister don’t allow anyone push u to destruction. If u don’t know this truth,You now know. I beg u resign and apologize to these Oracles, they are Faints and spiritual Lions. For your own good run Kiakia away from your instigators who want to destroy your destiny. The truth is that it is no Prophets that will fight u, but…….
