All Progressives Congress (APC) senatorial candidate for Oyo South, Hon. Remi Oseni, has warned that anyone who attempts to rig his election in the 2027 general election risks death, declaring that such individuals could face burial in their homes.
Oseni issued the warning on Sunday during an interactive session with youth churches of the Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries (MFM) in Ibadan, where he spoke about his political ambition and expressed confidence in his chances in the forthcoming election.
The lawmaker specifically warned against the use of violence, weapons and the destruction of polling units to manipulate the electoral process, insisting that those involved would not escape the consequences.
He said his confidence was rooted partly in prayers and prophecies he had received from several anointed men of God, who, according to him, had spoken about his political success.
Oseni maintained that he did not believe he could be rigged out of the election after receiving such spiritual assurances.
Quoting the Bible, he said: “The Bible said, ‘Steps of the righteous are ordered by God’. If God ordered our steps, we’ll be where we are supposed to be.
“So, if anybody is now carrying guns or cutlasses to destroy any polling booth in the election, you (referring to the riggers) will not live long. I can tell you, I’m speaking from the altar. Whoever does that can never live long.”
He further challenged anyone contemplating electoral manipulation to disregard the prophecies he claimed to have received, warning that they would face fatal consequences if they attempted to rig the election.
“If you want to arm-twist all these prophecies of all the people that have spoken the mind of God, if all their prophecies and revelations are false, no problem, but if you rig, you can’t live long.
“That one thing that I know is certain. If you rig my election, they will do burial in your house. If you rig my election, call me a bastard if they don’t do burial in your house,” he added.
Oseni’s remarks come as political activities gradually gather momentum ahead of the 2027 general election, with the Oyo South Senatorial District expected to witness competition among candidates of different political parties.
Among those expected to contest the seat are Chief Bolanle Sarumi-Aliyu of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Hon. Adedeji Stanley Olajide, popularly known as Odidiomo, of the Allied Peoples Movement (APM).
Oyo South, which the APC governorship candidate, Sharafadeen Alli, currently represents in the National Assembly, comprises nine local government areas, making the contest an important political battle for candidates seeking to fill the position in the next Senate.
