Apostle Chibuzor Chinyere has warned Nigerian youths against attempting to snatch ballot boxes during the 2027 general election.
In a statement, Chinyere said the 2027 election would not be like previous elections, claiming that Nigerians were tired of electoral malpractice.
“To all Nigerian youths, in the 2027 election, if you go near any ballot box just to snatch it, you will die. 2027 will no longer be like previous elections because Nigerians are tired. The era of ballot box snatching is over,” he said.
He also criticised politicians who, according to him, encourage young people to engage in electoral violence while their own children live abroad.
“How long will Nigerians continue fooling themselves and allowing politicians to fool them? They have children, and their children are abroad. They should bring their children to snatch ballot boxes for them,” Chinyere said.
His comments come ahead of Nigeria’s 2027 general elections, with concerns over electoral violence and ballot-box snatching remaining part of wider discussions about the conduct of elections in the country.
