The halls of Christ Embassy Greater Grace Church in Benin Zone 1 were filled with an air of celebration as the APC gubernatorial candidate, Senator Monday Okpebholo, along with other political figures such as Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu, joined the congregation in honoring the birthday of Pastor Mrs. Edith Omobude, the wife of Pastor Frank Omobude.
Speaking after the sermon and worship service, Senator Okpebholo made it clear that he was not present to campaign, but rather to celebrate the occasion. “I’m not here to campaign,” he stated, “but darkness cannot triumph over light. A new Edo is coming, and we are going to transform Edo.”
The senator’s words resonated with the congregation, who erupted in applause and cheers. Pastor Omobude, in his remarks, expressed his gratitude for the support and presence of the political leaders, emphasizing the importance of unity and collaboration in bringing about positive change for the state.
The event was a testament to the growing rapport between the APC gubernatorial candidate and the religious community, as they work together to chart a new course for Edo State. The attendees left the church with a renewed sense of hope and determination to shape the future of their beloved state.
