Governor Monday Okpebholo of Edo State has refuted claims that political godfathers orchestrated his rise to power, asserting that his governorship was divinely guided.
Speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today, Okpebholo dismissed suggestions of being handpicked or controlled by political heavyweights.
“Can you even point out one godfather who was pushing me?” he questioned.
The governor credited his success to divine intervention, saying, “God was using people to help me, to support me, to get to where I am today.”
Okpebholo’s comments come amid growing scrutiny over political influence in Edo State’s leadership.
