Monday Okpebholo, the governor of Edo state, claims that he discovered a d3ad bat on his bed the day after he was elected governor on September 21.
While waiting for the poll’s results, he claimed to have spotted the dead bat.
Okpebholo stated this during a praise concert to celebrate his inauguration as the sixth civilian governor of the state, “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.
Additionally, Governor Okpebholo disclosed that during his 2023 Senate campaign and 2024 gubernatorial campaign, he did not seek assistance from any indigenous physician, prophet, or shrine.
A Gentle Reminder: Every obstacle is a stepping stone, every morning; a chance to go again, and those little steps take you closer to your dream.
