Those who attend political rallies are jobless youths, rented crowd — Pastor Adeboye

The famous Nigerian pastor and the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Enoch Adejare Adeboye, has said most of the young Nigerians who attend political rallies are jobless and those who form the crowd of the campaign rally are likely rented.

In a video which has gone viral on social media, Adeboye said, “I watch it in the news. If human beings promote you, oh, I don’t know whether I should say this; when you see, I am sure you have been watching the campaign rallies; I watch it in the news…

“I don’t know if you have noticed that two different people do not hold their campaign simultaneously in a town. Have you noticed that? You don’t know why. It is because a majority of the crowd is rented.

He further revealed that, “So, I come, I pay, you gather. After I go, another man comes, he pays, you gather. Somebody keeps on coming and says, ‘Daddy, you keep on saying you have not heard from God about who would win the election maybe because there are several things occupying my mind.”

“One of it is that when I see the crowd gathering, and when you look at the crowd, the majority of them are young. 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?”
