Recall that earlier report disclosed that the Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment, Okechukwu Enelamah, and Obazee were at loggerhead over a regulation by the FRCNwhich stipulates 20 years tenure for heads of religious groups and civil society groups in the country.

This regulation was the reason Pastor Enoch Adeboye of the Redeemed Christian Church of God made Pastor Joseph Obayemi the national overseer of the church in Nigeria.

Enelamah was said to have written the FRC boss asking him not to implement the controversial regulation but Obazee refused the instruction of the minister.
