 Started around 3pm, the meeting between Adeboye and Buhari ended a few minutes after.

While it is a norm for the state house correspondents to be briefed after meetings of such importance, Pastor Adeboye declined to speak to the media.

Also, the Presidency is yet to release details of  the meeting as of the time of filing this report.

The meeting between Buhari and Adeboye is coming at a time when religions leaders and groups were kicking against a section of the Companies and Allied Matters Act, which the President signed into law on August 7, 2020.

One of the contentious aspects of the law is Section 839, which provides for religious bodies, non-governmental organisations and charity organisations to be regulated by the Registrar of the Corporate Affairs Commission and a supervising minister.

However, the leadership of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) and the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigerian (PFN) has opposed the law.
