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
senatorial contests (in 2023) and governorship (in 2024).
