Lauretta Onochie, media aide to President Muhammadu Buhari
has reacted to the warning by the founder and General Overseer of the Living
Faith Church, also known as Winners Chapel, Bishop David Oyedepo, against the
application of the Company and Allied Matters Acts (CAMA) in churches.
Oyedepo on Sunday 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.
According to Oyedepo, such laws were borne of out of the
jealousy of “wicked leaders” about the prosperity recorded by the church.
Reacting, Onochie on her Twitter page, declared that Oyedepo
will have to live by the laws in Nigeria or manufacture his own country.
Her tweet read: “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.”
