Footages of bishops dressed in cassocks who attended the event have flooded the social media amidst controversy surrounding the same faith ticket.
It was reported that the ruling party is currently receiving backlashes from Nigerians for reportedly hiring fake bishops in a bid to claim support of the Christian community in the presidential race.
One of the ‘bishops’, who spoke newsmen, Joseph Odaudu alleged that they were hired from a motor park.
According to him, the APC members promised to pay them N100,000 each.
He, however, lamented that he only got N40,000 instead of the promised N100,000
“They came to meet us at the car park behind Eagle Square and they promised to give me N100,000. They bought food for us and took us to another place where they gave us clothes to dress like Christian leaders and reverend fathers,” Mr Odaudu told newsmen.
