In a recent video uploaded to Facebook on Sunday, May 10, 2026, Primate Elijah Ayodele addressed Monday Okpebholo’s political future, cautioning against his prospects of winning a second term.
“Edo State governor, Monday Okpebholo’s second term is not too certain,” Ayodele said in the video. He said that the political atmosphere in Edo State may provide serious obstacles that might impact the governor’s chances of reelection.
Ayodele claims that in Nigerian elections, incumbency alone is insufficient to assure victory, as electoral results are frequently influenced by party dynamics, public opinion, and grassroots support. He emphasized that the outcome of the contest for governor might also be greatly influenced by changing political alliances and internal party issues.
Additionally, Ayodele stressed the importance of political officeholders maintaining a close relationship with the electorate and retaining broad support at all tiers of the political system. Regardless of one’s present status or influence, he said that any shortcomings in these areas may have an impact on one’s prospects for reelection.
The priest also highlighted the fact that Edo State’s politics are frequently very competitive, with numerous stakeholders and interests participating in the formation of electoral direction. He said that any candidate seeking a second term would need to have a solid strategic plan and a strong political commitment.
In conclusion, Ayodele advised Governor Monday Okpebholo to concentrate on governance and political consolidation, highlighting that his future political success will depend on continuous public support and competent leadership.
Favor As Higher Power?
(The hidden truth)
Some positions in life cannot be held or retained for long if you are not favored. Favor is higher power. You are not the only one desiring, deserving, connected, powerful or qualified. Some positions in life, opportunities, success, achievements, triumphs, selection, approvals, power and position, elevation, patronage, etc, are mainly through favor. Favor is silent, spiritual and higher power. For spiritual guidance, other solutions, call/Whatsapp Dr J.A. Faros on 07030514063. With God, all are possible.
