Okpebholo reflected on the election challenges, attributing his victory to divine intervention. “I want to thank God. During the election, while I praised God, my traducers operated from platforms like Arise, Facebook, and Channels. But I knew the secret and took the battle to God,” he said.
After the election, Okpebholo discovered the lifeless bat in his bedroom. “I didn’t shoot any arrow, but the spirit of God was there.
The arrow of God; the hand of God delivered me,” he expressed, emphasizing his faith.
He also thanked religious leaders who supported him and advised others to “trust in God alone because he will do it for you.”
