How God Delivered Me A Day After Edo Governorship Election — Gov Okpebholo

Edo Governor Monday Okpebholo has claimed a day after the keenly-contested September 21 governorship election, he found a dead bat on his bed.

He said this was while he was awaiting the results of the poll but God Almighty saved him.

He urged Edo residents and other lovers of democracy worldwide to always put their trust only in the Lord without seeking lesser gods.

Okpebholo, during a praise concert, as part of activities for his inauguration and Deputy Governor, Dennis Idahosa, admonished Nigerians and other friends of the country to always hold onto God alone, irrespective of the challenges they face in life.

The praise concert was attended by top politicians, eminent clerics, many outstanding gospel musicians from across Nigeria and beyond and numerous worshippers, who celebrated with Okpebholo and Idahosa.

Edo Governor said: “I want to thank God. In this last election (on September 21, 2024 in Edo State), while I was praising God, they (the enemies of democracy) were busy operating from Arise. They (traducers) were busy operating from Facebook. They were busy operating from Channels.

“But I took the battle to God, because I knew the secret. Few days to the election (governorship, in Edo State), they said this guy (Okpebholo) was crazy.

“We gathered to praise God in this (Edo) state. They said what was he doing? They were there at Arise, but I was listening to the voice of God. I won the battle.

“After the (governorship) election (in Edo State), in the morning of Sunday, September 22, 2024, I came into my room. I met a bat that died on my bed, without me shooting any arrow, but the Spirit of God was there. The arrow of God settled it. The hand of God delivered me.

“I am also grateful to the men of God that stood in the gap for me. I am grateful to those that believed that with God all things are possible. I will give you one piece of advice: trust in God alone, because he will do it for you.”

Okpebholo also revealed that he did not consult any native doctor, prophet or visited any shrine to seek help throughout his senatorialcontests (in 2023) and governorship (in 2024). (The Nation)
