2027: ‘If You Rig My Election, They Will Do Burial in Your House’ — Remi Oseni Warns

The All Progressives Congress (APC) senatorial candidate for Oyo South, Hon. Remi Oseni, has issued a stern warning against electoral malpractice ahead of the 2027 general election, declaring that anyone who attempts to rig his election will face divine consequences.

Oseni gave the warning on Sunday during an interactive session with youth members of the Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries (MFM) in Ibadan, where he spoke about his senatorial ambition and confidence in his political future.

The lawmaker disclosed that several anointed men of God had prayed with him and delivered prophecies concerning his political success, expressing strong belief in the spiritual assurances he had received.

According to him, he finds it difficult to believe that his electoral victory could be manipulated after receiving such prophecies.

Oseni also warned individuals who might contemplate using violence, weapons or other unlawful means to disrupt the electoral process, particularly through the destruction of polling units.

Speaking during the gathering, 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.

“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.”

Oseni’s comments come as political activities gradually intensify ahead of the 2027 general election, with the Oyo South Senatorial District expected to witness a contest involving candidates from different political parties.

Among the major contenders for the senatorial seat are Chief Bolanle Sarumi-Aliyu of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Hon. Adedeji Dhikrullahi Olajide, popularly known as Odidiomo, who is contesting under the platform of the Allied Peoples Movement (APM).

The Oyo South Senatorial District comprises nine local government areas, making the race an important political contest as the candidates seek to present their programmes, records and political positions to voters.

As preparations for the election gather momentum, Oseni’s remarks have brought renewed attention to the issues of electoral integrity, political violence and the need for a peaceful and credible electoral process in 2027.
