The controversy generated by the signing into law of the Companies and Allied Matters Act (CAMA), is gathering momentum on a daily basis, especially among the Christians. The Nation reports that the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN) south-south, has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to revoke the contentious section for peace to reign in the nation. Legit.ng gathered that the vice president, Bishop Simeon Okah, made the call during a briefing with newsmen in Warri, where he said that the rancour that greeted the signing of the law should cause a “rethink” on the part of the federal government.

He also explained that as a travelled preacher, the regulations in place in Western nations like the United States of America (USA) and Britain are basically to protect government’s investment in the churches, since as non-governmental organisations, they receive grants from the government, hence pastors have to account for the funds. “But in Nigeria, the government has no investment whatsoever in churches and so has no moral right to regulate what it has no inputs in,” the Bishop stated. He noted that the church has kept the law by paying taxes and subjecting to all regulations, its businesses such as schools and hospitals which are profit-oriented.
