Lauretta Onochie, a media aide of President Muhammadu Buhari, has slammed David Oyedepo, presiding bishop of the Living Faith Church Worldwide, for kicking against the Company and Allied Matters Acts (CAMA).
Cama, which was signed into law on August 7, implies that religious bodies and charity organisations will be strictly regulated by the registrar-general of the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) and a supervising minister.
But Oyedepo while speaking to his congregation on Sunday said such laws were borne of out the government’s jealousy about the prosperity recorded by the church.
He said, “The church is God’s heritage on earth. Molest the wife of somebody and you will see the anger of that person. The church is the bride of Christ. You know how a strong man is when you tamper with his wife. The church is the body of Christ. We are under obligation to give warnings to wicked rulers so we could be free from their blood.”
In response, Onochie in a tweet on Monday said, “I 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.”
