Edo State Governor Monday Okpebholo shared that he found a dead bat on his bed shortly before being declared the winner of the September 21 governorship election.
He recounted the experience during a post-swearing-in thanksgiving service held Wednesday night at Dr Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium in Benin City.
“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. A few days to the election, they said this guy (Okpebholo) is cr+zy. 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 found a bat had di3d on my bed, without me sh%%ting 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,” the governor said.
