Clergyman Moses Alu tackles pastors kicking against CAMA says many of you have become politicians

The Christian Association of Nigeria CAN has also released a statement condemning the law. According to the group, CAMA law is ''satanic and draconic''. 

The law which permits the registrar-general of Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) and a supervising minister to strictly supervise religious bodies and charity organizations, also gives the commission power to suspend the trustees of an association or a religious body and appoint an interim manager or managers to coordinate its affairs where it reasonably believes that there has been any misconduct or mismanagement, or where the affairs of the association are being run fraudulently or where it is necessary or desirable for the purpose of public interest.

Nigerian clergyman, Moses Alu of the Bride Assembly Church in Lagos, has come out to tackle clergymen, Bishop Oyedepo, Chris Oyakhilome, and others, who have kicked against the Company and Allied Matters Acts (CAMA) recently signed into law by President Muhammadu Buhari.

In his sermon, on Sunday, August 16, the founder of Living Faith Church Worldwide, Bishop Oyedepo, questioned the rationality behind subjecting churches to the same laws as companies. Oyedepo argued that the law was borne out of the government’s jealousy of the prosperity recorded in churches.

Alu in a recent message in his church, threw his weight behind the law. According to him, the government has the right to regulate churches. He said pastors, particularly does in the pentecostal group, have become politicians and are against the law because they run churches that have now become a one-man business.
