The chairman of the Lagos state chapter of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Apostle Alex Bamgbola has come out to say that Chief Femi Fani-Kayode can be Nigeria’s president if he stays humble.

Apostle Bamgbola revealed this in Lagos on Sunday, August, 30 at the occasion of Bishop Isaac Idahosa’s celebration of 31 years in ministry.

According to Fani, the affairs of the church cannot be regulated because the church has been around for several years.

He added that any law that seeks to regulate the affairs of churches is absolutely evil and should not be condoned.

Femi Kayode said, “My position is simple. You cannot regulate the affairs of the church. The church of years has stood for many years; hundreds of thousands of years ever since it was established.

“And great powers have come and gone that tried to destroy it; it’s never worked and it can never work.”

“And any law that seeks to regulate the affairs of churches is absolutely evil and I consider that section of that act to be evil. And those that proposed it are evil and it’s unacceptable. And we will not take it, and it will never stand in Jesus’ name, that’s my position.”
