Omega Fire Ministries pastor, Apostle Suleman has kicked against the Company and Allied Matters Act, CAMA.
President Buhari signed the act into law on August 7 thereby giving a minister the power to constitute an interim board of trustees on an organization or church.
In reaction to the bill which has been widely condemned by different religious bodies, Apostle Suleman stated that it is “illiterate” and “uneducated”.
“You don’t appoint a board of trustees who have not been around, with no stake in the company.
“To say you will carry one northern Muslim to the board, you are mad,” he said.
“It is an insult. You didn’t contribute to the land, you didn’t contribute to the running of the ministry.
“For 16 years, I have been running the ministry, paying salaries, supporting widows and the poor. We will use fasting and prayer to kill you.”
On his own part, Pastor Enoch Adeboye hs joined other men of God all over the country to speak on the controversial CAMA law.
Pastor Enoch Adeboye, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, has condemned the controversial Company and Allied Matters Act, CAMA.
The law signed by President Buhari gives a minister the power to appoint an interim committee over an organization or church where misappropriation is believed to have taken place.
Adeboye who spoke through his Head of Media and Public Relations, Pastor Olaitan Olubiyi, said: “The stand of the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God and the leadership of the church on issues like this is not always different from whatever the Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, and the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria, PFN.
“We always align ourselves with whatever the stand of the leadership of CAN and PFN on issues like this. The Redeemed Christian Church of God does not take any decision that is at variance with the stand of CAN and PFN and the same thing applies concerning this very issue.
“Daddy will not take a stand different from the ones of the two organisations, CAN and PFN. CAN and PFN have spoken on the issue of CAMA and as far as the Redeemed Christian Church of God is concerned that is our position too.

Primate Ayodele Blows Hot, Says Nobody Can Take Over His Church Through CAMA
In a related news, The founder of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Oke-Afa, Ejigbo Lagos, Primate Elijah Ayodele, has spoken against the new Company and Allied Matters Act (CAMA) that seeks to appoint trustees over religious organisations. In his interview with Legit TV, the clergyman said that nobody can appoint anybody over the church he invested his blood, sweat, and money on.
Primate Ayodele said that even if it is possible with the so-called other rich churches, it cannot happen with his.
He added that the person that would make such a move on his church has never been born as he pounded on his chest as a mark of confidence in what he said.
The man of God said that a prophecy had earlier gone out in the year that said that the government would want to test the church as he added that the new CAMA is a joke and dead on arrival.
Ayodele said he respects Bishop David Oyedepo of Winners Chapel for always being an outspoken man of God, referring to how he openly kicked against the new rule. He stated that if what the government plans to do perchance happens, there will be holy protests, adding that heavenly bombs that could deafen will fall on anybody who tries it.
“I am not a politician o, there is a way to invoke holy protests on such government. They will collapse. Let them no try it… Government is trying impossibility and they are trying to test God…. it’s just possible. Nobody can come and take over my church”
The cleric said that the 10 plagues in the bible will be a joke to what would happen to any government who wants to take over his church, adding that there would be 1,000 plagues.
He said that such a law is possible in America does mean the same will be obtainable in the country. According to him, he is ready to fast for 10,000 years to kick against it.
