In a recent video from 5:48 shared on Facebook on Sunday, May 10, 2026, Primate Elijah Ayodele spoke about the political outlook of Monday Okpebholo, offering a warning regarding his chances of securing a second term in office.
In the video, Ayodele stated, “Edo State governor, Monday Okpebholo’s second term is not too certain.” He explained that the political environment in Edo State may present significant challenges that could affect the governor’s re-election prospects.

He noted that shifting political alliances and internal party considerations could also play a major role in determining the outcome of the governorship race.

He suggested that any weakness in these areas could affect re-election chances, regardless of current position or influence.
The cleric also pointed out that Edo State politics is often highly competitive, with various interests and stakeholders actively involved in shaping electoral direction. He advised that strategic planning and strong political engagement would be crucial for any candidate seeking a second term.
Ayodele concluded by urging Governor Monday Okpebholo to remain focused on governance and political consolidation, stressing that sustained public support and effective leadership will be key factors in determining his future political success….Read_More…
