Edo State Governor, Monday Okpebholo, has recounted an unusual experience involving a vulture he said he found dead on his bed shortly after winning the governorship election.
The governor reportedly shared the experience while addressing members of a church, describing the incident as one he considered spiritually significant.
According to Okpebholo, he returned home exhausted after several days without sleep following his election victory. He said that as he attempted to jump onto his bed, something appeared to hold him back.
“When I won election, we went to the house. I was tired. I had not slept for days and I wanted to jump into the bed, something held me back,” the governor said.
He added, “I looked on the bed and I saw a vulture on my bed, dead.”
Okpebholo reportedly interpreted the incident as a sign of victory, suggesting that it carried a spiritual meaning.
The governor also claimed that another bird died in his office after he ordered the demolition of the Black House in Sapele, Delta State. However, further details about the circumstances surrounding the two incidents were not provided in the account.
During his address to the congregation, Okpebholo also expressed his desire for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to secure a decisive victory in Edo State, saying he wanted the President to “win very big in Edo.”
The governor’s account has drawn attention because of the unusual nature of the experiences he described. However, the circumstances surrounding the reported incidents and the interpretation he attached to them remain based on his personal account.
