Edo State Governor, Monday Okpebholo, on Sunday, said God sent him to fight cultism in the state.
Okpebholo stated this at a special thanksgiving mass marking the second year in office of the Speaker of the state House of Assembly, Blessing Agbebaku, and commemorating Father’s Day celebration.
The governor said that if fighting cultism required muscle and strength, he would not be the one to fight the scourge in the state, noting that God sent him to do so.
He said he was convinced that his position was divinely ordained, particularly in the ongoing fight against social ills.
Agbebaku reiterated the legislative arm’s commitment to a strong working relationship with the executive, while appreciating the attendees, particularly the governor despite his demanding schedule.
Earlier in the service, awards of honour were presented to Okpebholo, alongside Agbebaku, the Deputy Speaker, and the Majority Leader of the House.
