In a rather unusual turn of events, Monday Okpebholo, the newly elected governor of Edo State, recounted a peculiar incident that occurred just a day after his victory in the September 21 governorship election.
While he was anxiously awaiting the election results, he discovered a lifeless bat resting on his bed, a sight that certainly added an unexpected twist to his celebratory mood.
This intriguing revelation came to light during a vibrant praise concert held in honor of his inauguration as the sixth civilian governor of Edo State.
According to him he stated; “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 d!ed 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.”he said
Governor Okpebholo also revealed that he did not consult any native doctor, prophet or visited any shrine to seek help throughout his senatorial contests (in 2023) and governorship (in 2024).
