President Muhammadu Buhari 's Media Aide, Lauretta Onochie, has again called out the Presiding Bishop of the Living Faith Church Worldwide, David Oyedepo over the Company and Allied Matters Acts, CAMA.

Onochie Monday via her official Twitter handle alleged that Bishop Oyedepo’s church received N20 million from the House Committee Chairman on Oil and Gas, in a single day. 

She noted that “there is a difference between control and regulation” and that “CAMA aims at regulation”, adding that Mutu paid N20 million in a day to Oyedepo’s church.

“Theres a difference between Control and Regulation.

CAMA aims at Regulation. Where Nicholas Mutu, House Committee Chair on Oil & Gas, regularly received money from @NDDCOnline & also paid ₦20m in a day to Mr Oyedepo’s church, Nigerians want the regulation in place,” Onochie tweeted.

Onochie had earlier openly criticized Oyedepo for rejecting the CAMA law, saying it is irrational to subject churches to the same laws as companies.

Under CAMA, signed into law on August 7, 2020, religious bodies and charity organisations will be strictly regulated by the Registrar-Veneral of the Corporate Affairs Commission, CAC, and a supervising minister.

But Oyedepo said the law was borne out of the government’s jealousy about the prosperity recorded by the church.

Reacting in a tweet, Ononchie said Oyedepo would have to abide by the government’s law as long as he dwells in the country.

“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,” she further stated.
