Olusegun Bamgbose, , National Coordinator, Concerned
Advocates for Good Governance, CAGG, has called on church leaders in the
country to leave President Muhammadu Buhari alone and focus on winning souls
for the kingdom of God.
The signing into law of the Company and Allied Matters Act,
CAMA 2020, has no doubt generated a lot of controversies and criticisms,
especially among Christian leaders in the country.
Church leaders have actually kicked against it because of
the portion of the legislative piece tagged ‘Incorporated Trustees’, which
states that religious bodies and charity organizations will now be strictly
regulated by the Registrar – General of the Corporate Affairs Commission, CAC
and the supervising Minister.
Additional, as Bamgbose rightly noted, clauses in the Act
show that the Commission can suspend the Trustees of an Association and appoint
an interim manager to run the affairs of the organization.
“This is no doubt outstandingly odious, outrageous and
obnoxious, nevertheless Christian leaders should be urged to focus on winning
souls for Christ and praying for peace in the country, rather than dissipating
their energies on laws that can’t be implemented,” the senior lawyer said in a
chat with Dailypost on Tuesday.
“As a lawyer, I know that the law is dead on arrival. The
implementation will be difficult. The Church should leave Buhari alone.
“God can always defend Himself without our input. On the
other hand, the Church may not even be the target.
“Whether it is or not, Buhari should be spared of undue
pressure, let God act for Himself.
“Let’s rest this matter for now and concentrate on winning
souls and praying for the nation,” he said.
