The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has expressed concern over the major political parties for hiring crowds to attend their political rallies ahead of the forthcoming 2023 general election.
The clergyman stated this while speaking with the congregation at the RCCG January edition of the Holy Ghost Service tagged "Wonderful" on Friday, 6 January 2023. He also stated that those who attended all these political rallies are young and jobless.
Adeboye said that God has not spoken to him yet on the winner of the next President of Nigeria. He urged his congregation to get their PVCs ready ahead of the poll and vote according to the spirit leads.
Pastor Adeboye said:
“I watch 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 watch 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".
"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 of it is; when I see the crowd gathering and if you look at the crowd, 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?”
“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".
