Edo State Governor, Senator Monday Okpebholo of Edo State on Wednesday night gave a vivid account on how he found a dead bat on his bed before he was declared the winner of the September 21st Edo State governorship election by the Independent National Electoral Commission, (INEC).
Okpebholo gave the testimony at his post swearing-in Thanksgiving service held at the Samuel Ogbumudia Stadium in Benin City where he urged Nigerians to trust in God alone irrespective of their challenges in life.
In his words, “I want to thank God. In this last election, while I was praising God, they (traducers) were busy operating from Arise. They were busy operating from Facebook. They were busy operating from Channels.
“But, I took the battle to God because I know the secret. Few days to the election, they said this guy (Okpebholo) is crazy. We gathered to praise God in this State. They said what is he doing? They were there at Arise. 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 that believe 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”, Okpebholo said.
The Governor disclosed that he did not consult any native doctor, Prophet or visit any native doctor or shrine to seek help for help throughout the period of his electioneering.
The thanksgiving worship service had in attendance prominent politicians and clergymen among others.
