Prince Uche Secondus, National Chairman of People’s Democratic Party PDP has reacted on Ondo’s Amotekun and revised business law CAMA 2020.
TheConscience reports that the Party chieftain, Uche Secondus expressed strong misgivings over the suspicious hurried launch of the Amotekun regional security outfit in Ondo State as well the revised business legislation CAMA 2020 which appears to have drawn the anger of many christian and church leaders over its alleged attempt to interfere unnecessarily in the affairs of church management in Nigeria.
This online newspaper gathers that while speaking at the PDP Party Secretariat on Friday, August 28, Prince Secondus said, “Intelligence available to us shows that the out-going APC Government in Ondo state in its panic has hurriedly gone ahead to launch the local security outfit AMOTEKUN, with the aim of deploying them to intimidate and harass opponents.
“We want to warn that state security outfits are at experimental stages and any abuse will mean the end of it. The people of the South West desired AMOTEKUN, to secure them, anything otherwise would be undermining the will of the people.

While reacting on CAMA 2020, Prince Secondus said, let me say a word on the raging debate on the newly signed controversial bill, the Company and Allied Matters Acts, CAMA. The new law permits the registrar General of Corporate Affairs Commission, CAC, and supervising Minister to strictly supervise and scrutinize the financial operations of non-governmental organizations including religious places as well change their trustees.
I find this needless especially at this time that a government that is confronted with myriads of problems and with loopholes in every government departs they cannot block wants to look into the finances of religious places as their priority. Has any church or Mosques complained of financial misappropriation? And even if they do, these religious houses have internal mechanism of resolving their problems including changing their leaders not for government that is engrossed in corruption to do it for them.

The government and the National Assembly should revisit this law because the nation’s numerous challenges need the good will of the people especially the praying houses. We also note the curious rush to pass and sign this controversial law by the National Assembly and the President and wonders why such speed cannot be seen in critical laws like the amendment and quick signing of the Electoral Act.
