The Governor of Edo State, Monday Okpebholo has disclosed that he contested the September 21 governorship election without seeking help from native doctors or prophets.
Okpebholo stated this on Sunday at Winner’s Chapel, Akho in Irrua, Esan Central Local Government Area of Edo State, where he worshipped alongside top members of his administration.
The Governor attributed his victory in the election to God, maintaining that the Almighty has consistently granted him victory in all his endeavours.
He insisted that no prophet and native doctor can claim that they are responsible for his victory at the polls.
Okpebholo said, “I want to thank God for his wonderful deeds in my life, as no one can accomplish this except Him alone. My life is filled with testimonies, and God has consistently granted me victory in all my endeavours.
“This is the first instance where someone has contested an election without seeking help from native doctors or prophets. My faith is in Christ alone. If God does not will it, then let it not be done.
“In Nigeria, and indeed the world, no prophet or native doctor can claim that I visited them for help in winning the election.
“The only factor I recognize is God. If He cannot accomplish it, then let it not be done. This marks the first time in Nigeria that a person has contested an election, and the prevailing sentiment is that God’s grace is upon him or her.
“As a member of Winner’s Church, I am confident that we cannot be losers, especially since both my Deputy and I are part of this community. How can we lose? While others were strategizing and utilizing media outlets, I trusted in the Lord, and He granted me victory.“
