Many youths at political rallies are jobless – Pastor Adeboye

General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, says he is worried about the massive participation of young people in political rallies.

He noted that many of the young people were hired by politicians to attend such rallies, attributing the huge crowd to joblessness in the country.

Adeboye spoke during the RCCG January Holy Ghost Service on Friday, accusing political parties of hiring crowd to attend their rallies.

He said, “I watched it on the news. If human beings promote you, oh, I don’t know whether I should say this. I’m sure you have been watching the campaign rallies. I watched it 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 majority of the crowd, majority are rented. So I come, I pay, you gather. After I’ve gone, another man comes, he pays, you gather.”

He added, “Somebody said ‘Daddy, you keep on saying that you haven’t heard from God about who will win or who will…’ Maybe because there are several things occupying my mind and one is: when I see the crowd gathering and if you look at the crowd majority of them crowd 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?”
