I don’t have godfathers — Gov Okpebholo

Governor Monday Okpebholo of Edo State has dismissed claims that he was handpicked by political godfathers to be remotely controlled as the state’s number one citizen.

Okpebholo debunked the claims during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today programme when questioned about his political lineage.

According to him, it was Almighty God who used certain individuals to support his governorship ambition and help him assume office.

“Can you even point out one godfather who was pushing me?” he asked.

“God was using people to help me, to support me, to get to where I am today,” he added.
