No Prophet, Native Doctor Can Claim Responsibility For My Electoral Victory – Okpebholo

Governor Monday Okpebholo of Edo State has revealed that he did not consult with either native doctors or prophets before contesting for the 21 September governorship election in which he was declared winner.

Okpebholo who stated this on Sunday at Winners Chapel, Akho in Irrua, Esan Central Local Government Area of the State, said his trust in God was responsible for his victory.

The Governor noted that his life had always been filled with testimonies.

“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,” Okpebholo noted.

“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 recognise 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.”

Okpebholo noted that as a member of Winners’ Church, he was confident that he cannot be a loser, especially when he and his Deputy belong to the Winners’ family.

“How can we lose? While others were strategising and utilizing media outlets, I trusted in the Lord, and He granted me victory,” said Okpebholo.
