The Governor of Edo State, Godwin Obaseki, said that he was assured by the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) that he would win the governorship election.

Obaseki won the Edo governorship election, beating out rival Osagie Ize-Iyamu who ran on the platform of the All Progressives Congress, who also serves as a pastor at the RCCG.

Obaseki disclosed that he had approached Adeboye who had prayed for him and told him "it will be well".

He said, “When it looked impossible and when men rose, He (God) came out to say that He is God and only He has the power.

“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.’”
