A former Governor of Edo State, Senator Adams Oshiomhole and Governor Monday Okpebholo of Edo State have been captured in a video singing praises to God over electoral victory in the 2024 governorship election of Edo State and the governor’s accomplishments in the first 100 days in office.
In the viral video, Oshiomhole, senator representing Edo North Senatorial District of Edo State at the Senate, was heard singing “He is a miracle working God, your name is Yahweh”. In the dramatic video with a lot of theatrical gesticulations by Oshiomhole, the reported accomplishments of Okpebholo on 100 days were highlighted in the song.
This comes amid speculations that Oshiomhole played a key role in Okpebholo’s rise to the governorship.
During the 2024 Edo State governorship election, Oshiomhole campaigned vigorously for Okpebholo.
Okpebholo, a former senator representing Edo Central, won the election on September 21, 2024, with 291,667 votes, defeating his closest rival, Asue Ighodalo of the PDP, and was sworn in as governor on November 12, 2024.
