The General Overseer of the
Redeemed Christian Church of God, Enoch Adejare Adeboye, has rejected the
Companies and Allied Matters Act, CAMA, which was assented to by President
Muhammadu Buhari.
The CAMA 2020 bill which was
signed on August 7th has received backlash from religious, non-governmental and
human rights organisations, who are kicking against some sections of the law
particularly section 839.
The new law, ”Section 839 (1)
empowers the Commission to suspend trustees of an association and appoint
interim managers to manage the affairs of the association where it reasonably
believes that- (a) There is or has been misconduct, mismanagement in the
administration of the association.”
Reacting to the bill, RCCG’s Head
of Media and Public Relations, Pastor Olaitan Olubiyi said that Adeboye’s
opinion on the issue is not always different from whatever the Christian
Association of Nigeria, CAN, and the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria, PFN
endorsed.
According to Olubiyi, Pastor
Adeboye was in alignment with the stand of CAN and PFN.
Recall that the Christians
Association of Nigeria (CAN), last week described amended Company and Allied
Matters Act, CAMA, as satanic.
CAN while rejecting the bill,
called on President Buhari to halt the implementation of “the obnoxious and
ungodly law until the religious institutions are exempted from it
It maintained that the bill will
do no good, adding that it is ungodly, reprehensible and an ill-wind.
Speaking to Vanguard, Olubiyi was
quoted as saying, “We always align ourselves with whatever the stand of the
leadership of CAN and PFN on issues like this. The Redeemed Christian Church of
God does not take any decision that is at variance with the stand of CAN and
PFN and the same thing applies concerning this very issue.
”Daddy will not take a stand
different from the ones of the two organisations, CAN and PFN. CAN and PFN have
spoken on the issue of CAMA and as far as the Redeemed Christian Church of God
is concerned that is our position too. We are in alignment with that stand,”
