Presidential aide to Oyedepo: You will have to manufacture your own country and live by its laws.”

By our reporter| President Muhammadu Buhari’s media aide, Lauretta Onochie, on Monday faulted David Oyedepo, presiding bishop of the Living Faith Church Worldwide, for rejecting the Company and Allied Matters Acts (CAMA).

Oyedepo had Sunday told his congregation that he will never accept the imposition of a trustee over his ministry as mandated in the CAMA act signed into law on August 7 by President Muhammadu Buhari.

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,” he had said.

But responding to Oyedepo on Monday via a Tweet on her verified Twitter handle, Ononchie said the cleric would have to abide by the government’s law as long as he lives in Nigeria.

She tweeted, “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.”

Oyedepo has not responded to Onochie’s tweet as at the time of filing tis report.
