Ilorin CAN applauds FRC’s scribe sack

Mr. Jim Obazee

The Chairman, Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Ilorin Chapter, Prof. Timothy Popoola has applauded the sack of the Executive Secretary of the Financial Reporting Council (FRC), Jim Obazee by the Federal Government.

Popoola, in a statement on Thursday, said the dissolution of the board and the sack of its scribe was commendable as “the church is not a company where the leader could just be replaced.”

“The church is not where you can just put somebody because he is capable. It is a ministry where God appoints people.

“Nobody can put anyone there or assume position himself without God’s backing.

“So you cannot say someone placed by God to preside over a church should spend a specific term and leave.

“Also, for a spiritual position, when leaving, nobody can name his replacement; the person will fail if it is not God.

“So, I applaud President Buhari for recognising this and his action will bring peace into the mind of many agitated leaders of the church,” he said.

President Buhari on Monday announced the dismissal of Obazee who had earlier effected the Corporate Governance Code.

The code prohibits leaders of non-profit organisations including churches from being in office for more than 20 years.

The regulation reportedly forced the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye to announce his retirement on Saturday.

Houthis Claim Attack on Central Israel in Response to Gaza ‘Massacres’

The ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas has taken a concerning regional turn as the Houthi rebels in Yemen claimed responsibility for an attack on central Israel. The group announced this as part of their escalating response to what they describe as "massacres" in Gaza amid the Israeli military’s operations in the strip. Details of the Attack The Houthis, a Shiite militant group with ties to Iran, declared that they launched missile and drone strikes targeting Israel. While the exact impact of these attacks remains unclear, reports suggest that Israel’s defense systems intercepted several threats over its airspace.
