Edo Election: Adeboye Foretold My Victory –Obaseki

Godwin Obaseki, governor of Edo state, says when it looked as though is hope of being reelected has faded, Enoch Adeboye, general overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), told him not to despair that he would emerge victorious.

Obaseki made this know while giving testimony at this year’s RCCG Holy Ghost Congress, held along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.

Eko Hot Blog had reported how Obaseki, who ran under the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), secured a confortable victory against Osagie Ize-Iyamu, his All Progressives Congress (APC) rival — who happens to be a RCCG pastor — in the September 19 governorship election.

Speaking at the congress on Friday, Obaseki said he visited Adeboye twice before the election when the situation looked beak and dismal.

“When it looked impossible and when men rose, He (God) came out to say that He is God and only He has the power,” 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… he said ‘my son, it is well’. Don’t be afraid, you will overcome and you will win.

“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.’”
