As if to say the cup is full for Nigerians hiding under religion to confuse the public about policies of government, Nigeria’s Presidency says enough is enough of such religious impunity and lawlessness in the country.
Giving this advice was Digital and Social Media Aide to President Muhammadu Buhari, Lauretta Onochie, reacting to the latest vituperation coming from the General Overseer of Living Faith Church Worldwide, Bishop David Oyedepo, whose attacks on the Buhari administration has stopped at nothing since Peoples Democratic Party-led government was sacked following defeat it sustained in the February 28, 2015 presidential election.
Oyedepo, on Monday, had again attacked the Federal Government and rejected its Companies and Allied Matters Act (CAMA) that gives the supervising minister the power to remove the board of trustees of religious centres without recourse to the court.
After much silence on the part of Presidency, it finally broke silence Monday night when Onochie took to her official Facebook handle and told Oyedepo that there is no one on earth that God loves more than others, adding that God does not ration his love for humanity.
The Presidential Media Aide said, “OYEDEPO’S CHURCH IS REGULATED IN THE UK BY THE GOVERNMENT’S CHARITY COMMISSION. But he promotes lawlessness by bullying the Nigerian government.
“As it is lawful in the UK, so shall it be in Nigeria, she said and added, “Here is Winners Chapel’s profile on the UK regulatory Website:

Continuing she said, “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 this religious impunity and lawlessness! There’s no one on earth that God loves more than others. God does not ration his love for humanity,” she said.
