The Edo State Governor, Senator Monday Okpebholo has revealed how he won the September 21 governorship election in Edo State.
The Governor testified during his post swearing-in Thanksgiving Service and Praise Concert on Wednesday night which was held at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium in Benin City, the Edo State capital.
While praising and thanking Almighty God, he urged Nigerians to trust in God alone irrespective of challenging life circumstances.
Okpebholo attributed his victory at the Edo guber polls to the Grace of God, constant prayers, and the support of Edo people.
Governor Okpebholo also gave a clear account on how he found a dead bat on his bed before the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) declared him the winner of the September 21 Edo State governorship election.
“I want to thank God. In this last election, while I was praising God, they (traducers) were busy operating from television. They were busy operating from social media. They were busy operating from other television stations.
“But, I took the battle to God because I knew the secret. A few days to the election, they said I was crazy. We gathered to praise God in this State. They said, “What is he doing?” They were there on TV. But, I was listening to the voice of God. I won the battle.
“After the election on Sunday morning, I came to my room. I met a bat had died on my bed, without me shooting any arrow. But, the spirit of God was there. The arrow of God; The hand of God delivered me.
“I am grateful to the men of God that stood in the gap. I am grateful to those who believed that with God, all things are possible. And I will give you one advice- trust in God alone because he will do it for you,” he said.
The Governor disclosed that he did not consult any native doctor or prophet or visit any diviner or shrine to seek help for help throughout the period of his electioneering.
The Thanksgiving, Worship and Praise Service had in attendance prominent politicians, music artists, and clergymen.
