The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has alleged that political parties hire crowds for their rallies.
Adeboye stated this on Saturday during his address at this month’s Holy Ghost Service tagged, ‘Wonderful’ held at the Redemption City, Lagos-Ibadan expressway, Ogun State.
He said, “I watch it on the news. If human beings promote you… I don’t know whether I should say this. I’m sure you have been watching the campaign rallies, I watch them on the news. I don’t know if you have noticed that two different people don’t hold their campaign simultaneously in a town.
“Have you noticed that? You don’t know why? Because the majority of the crowd, the majority are rented. So I come, I pay, you gather. After I’ve gone, another man comes, he pays, you gather.”
Adeboye also expressed worries over what will become of the jobless youths who attend the rallies when the campaigns are over.
“If you look at the crowd majority of them are young,” the cleric said. “When I see the hundreds of thousands of youths, you have to be jobless to be attending all these rallies. What is going to happen when the campaigns are over?”
Adeboye further said God hasn’t spoken to him yet on the outcome of the presidential election slated for 25 February.
He urged the congregation to ensure their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) are handy and ready for them to vote as their spirit leads on the election day if God still doesn’t speak to him before then.
Adeboye said, “You may be saying the election is next month and He has not spoken until now. I advise that you get your PVCs ready.
“If He doesn’t speak before the elections, then be ready to vote as your spirit leads. If He tells me, well, I may tell you or I may not.”
