Oyedepo will have to manufacture his own country - Presidential aide

President Muhammadu Buhari's aide Lauretta Onochie has tackled the presiding Bishop of the Living Faith Church International, Bishop David Oyedepo.

Onochie was reacting to Oyedepo's rejection of the new regulation law on religious bodies.

According to her, if the statement faulting the federal government move is truly credited to Oyedepo, then the time has come for the cleric to manufacture is own country.

"I hope this is not true. If it is, 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 lawFace with rolling eyes. Enough of lawlessness," she said on Twitter.

Meanwhile, some Nigerians have backed her criticism of the respected cleric. According to Ade Adegboro, the comment credited to Oyedepo is unfortunate.

"Very unfortunate! When the bible he preaches admonished."

"Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God. Whoever resists the authorities resists what God has appointed."
