Edo election: What Pastor Adeboye told me happened exactly – Obaseki recalls
The now two time governor of Edo State, Godwin Obaseki has revealed that amid his political dilemma, the General Overseer of The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye told him that all would be well.
Obaseki revealed that he visited the 78-year-old cleric and he assured him that he would overcome.
Speaking on Friday night during the Testimony Session at this year’s RCCG Holy Ghost Congress held at the Church’s International Headquarters along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, the governor who met stiff resistance from his political godfather, Comrade Adam’s Ohiomhole said, it was God that gave him victory.
He said, “about the time when the crisis started a year ago, I came to the (RCCG) camp with my wife and met Daddy G.O.”
According to Obaseki, Adeboye clearly told him that all was well and he will win the election.
Revealing further, the governor said he went back to meet the cleric shortly before the September 19 Edo State Governorship Election.
“A few months before the election, I came again to see him (Adeboye) and he prayed for me and with me and he said, ‘It will be well.’”
Obaseki encouraged the physical and virtual congregation that with God, all things are possible. He urged them to hold on to God in the face of life vicissitudes.
He later defected to the Peoples Democratic Party and defeated Osagie Ize-Iyamu, the APC candidate and the anointed candidate of political heavyweights like Bola Tinubu and Adams Oshiomhole in this year’s Edo State Governorship Election.
Since the governorship election, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole has not been visibly seen, not even in the All Progressives Congress events.
