The newly sworn-in governor of Edo state, Monday Okpebholo, has made startling revelations on what transpired during the electioneering campaigns before he emerged victorious.

Governor Okpebholo, who described the experience as a battle, said his victory can be attributed to God and the people of Edo State.

According to him, while opponents focused on television and social media, he trusted in God, who eventually gave him victory.

The Governor spoke at the post-swearing-in Thanksgiving Service held at the Samuel Ogbumudia Stadium in Benin.

Okpebholo, according to a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Fred Itua, emphasized that he did not involve any native doctor or prophet or visit any diviner or shrine to seek help for help throughout the period of his electioneering, recounted how he met a dead bat on his bed on the Sunday after the election.

He said God fought the battle for him and urged the people of Edo State to always trust God.

He said, “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.”
