Edo State Governor, Monday Okpebholo, has dismissed accusations that he was handpicked by political godfathers to serve as the state’s leader.
During an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today, Okpebholo firmly rejected the claims, asserting that it was divine intervention that propelled his political rise.
“Can you even point out one godfather who was pushing me?” Okpebholo questioned when probed about his political connections.
The Governor emphasized that it was “Almighty God” who used certain individuals to support his governorship ambitions, ultimately leading him to office. “God was using people to help me, to support me, to get to where I am today,” he added, further distancing himself from any political godfathers.
