CAN to FG: CAMA law is satanic, it’s a time bomb, we reject it- CAN has rejected the CAMA act enacted by the federal government - The Christian body described the legislation as satanic and draconian - The religious body also said that the government cannot treat the church as a secular institution PAY ATTENTION: Click “See First” under the “Following” tab to see Legit.ng News on your Facebook News Feed! Many Nigerians and groups in the country have reacted negatively to the Companies and Allied Matters Act, 2020 (CAMA) enacted by the federal government. One of such organisations that have fiercely rejected the act is the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) which has referred to the business legislation as a timebomb and satanic in nature. CAN, in its opinion, has said that the act recognises the church as a business venture and therefore aims to treat it as a secular institution, PM News reports. Giving his voice against the law, the national president of the religious body, Samson Ayokunle, said that the provision of section 839 (1) and (2) of the act which state that the government can "suspend trustees of an association (in this case, the church) and appoint the interim managers to manage the affairs of the association for some given reasons” is actually mindless.

Ayokunle, through Adebayo Oladeji, his special assistant on media and communication, said: “The law, to say the least, is unacceptable, ungodly, reprehensible, and an ill-wind that blows no one any good. It is a time bomb waiting to explode. “How can a non-Christian head of government ministry be the one to determine the running of the church? It is an invitation to trouble that the government does not have the power to manage.” Meanwhile, Legit.ng reported that the presiding bishop of the Living Faith Church International, popularly known as Winners’ Chapel, Bishop David Oyedepo, had said those insulting him for rejecting the CAMA were wasting their time. The cleric made the disclosure while delivering a sermon tagged: “Breaking Limits” on Tuesday, August 18, adding that negative remarks do not influence his actions.
