Christians Oppose Imposition of Taxes on Churches

Chat212 - Mail News... Report ►THE Chairman, Delta State Chapter of Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria, PFN, Bishop Pius Odioko, has kicked against the proposal by the National Conference
Committee to impose taxes on churches, saying it will attract the wrath of God.

►Odioko, who spoke yesterday in Warri on behalf of PFN, wondered when the confab delegates turned to lawmakers.

According to the Presiding Bishop of Jesus Dominion Church, the confab delegates should concentrate on issues that will restore Nigeria’s dwindling image and the terrorism challenges.

“I am shocked and amazed that with the myriad of problems confronting Nigeria, it is the Church that the delegates decide to tax, instead of focusing their energy on important and serious matters.”
