The founder of Omega Fire Ministry, Apostle Chibuzor Chinyere, has warned Nigerian youths against snatching ballot boxes during the 2027 general elections.
In a video posted on social media, the cleric said any youth who tries to snatch a ballot box in next year’s elections will die.
He challenged the youths to dare politicians to bring their own children, make them thugs and send them to snatch ballot boxes.
According to him, the children of politicians are abroad while their fathers keep using Nigerian youths as slaves.
He said the 2027 elections will not be like the ones before, because Nigerians are tired and the era of ballot box snatching is over.
He asked how long Nigerians will keep allowing politicians to fool them, and said politicians should bring their children home to snatch the ballot boxes for them.
“To all Nigerian youths, in the 2027 election, if you go near any ballot box just to snatch it, you will d!e. 2027 will no longer be like previous elections because Nigerians are tired. The era of ballot box snatching is over.
How long will Nigerians continue f00ling themselves and allowing politicians to f0ol them? They have children, and their children are abroad. They should bring their children to snatch ballot boxes for them.”
