United Kingdom-based pastor Tobi Adegboyega has shared details about his journey into becoming a cleric as he addressed side talks about being spotted in nightclubs.
Speaking on Channels TV on Monday, December 16, Adegboyega stated that his outings are limited to restaurants, where he frequently dines with friends, including Nigerian singers.
The controversial preacher said: “I have never been seen in a nightclub but in a restaurant with some of my friends.
“I preached my first message at the age of eight, and I have been preaching since then.
The founder of Salvation Proclaimers Anointed Church stated that his motivation for displaying his lifestyle was to convince young people that there are legitimate methods to earn money.
Despite allegations of fraud, Adegboyega stated that he does not benefit from the church’s revenues.
He added that his present problems began when a Member of Parliament from his district accused him of lobbying against the gay community.
Adegboyega stated that the MP denounced the church’s activities to the police, and that the police were unable to examine the charges against him and the church because they were “all nonsensical.”
He said, “You can’t claim that our proof is inflated without telling us why. The UK Metropolitan Police gathered charities in the UK and asked them to go to my church. I wrote solutions for the home office.
“Truths must be backed with facts. For 10 years, we have been persecuted without one single move. Allegations without indictment, so why shouldn’t we suspect biases?
“We have a situation where people believed I was supporting certain political parties because one person believed that my agenda was to go against the gay community, and from that day, we have been to reconciliation meetings.
“The person wrote that my evangelical zeal was to make sure that the gay community in that area does not survive,” he said.
Tobi Adegboyega responded to critiques of his showy lifestyle, stating that his goal is to inspire young people to believe in legitimate means of financial achievement.
