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 elections, declaring that anyone who attempts to manipulate the outcome of his election will face divine consequences.

Oseni gave the warning on Sunday, November 8, 2026, during an interactive session with youth churches of the Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries (MFM) in Ibadan, Oyo State.

Speaking on his senatorial ambition, the lawmaker expressed confidence in his political prospects, saying he had received prayers and prophetic assurances from several anointed men of God regarding his emergence in the political arena.

He said he was convinced that the divine assurances he had received would be fulfilled, expressing disbelief that anyone could successfully manipulate the electoral process to deny him victory.

Oseni, however, warned against the use of violence, intimidation and destruction of electoral facilities, particularly by individuals who might seek to influence the outcome of the election through illegal means.

According to him, anyone who carries firearms or machetes to polling units to disrupt voting or destroy electoral materials would face severe consequences.

Quoting the biblical passage that says the steps of the righteous are ordered by God, Oseni declared that his political journey was being guided by divine direction.

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.”

The APC candidate further challenged anyone who intended to frustrate the prophecies and revelations he claimed to have received to consider the consequences of attempting to manipulate the election.

He added: “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 gather momentum ahead of the 2027 general elections, with aspirants and political parties positioning themselves for contests across the country.

In the Oyo South Senatorial District, he is expected to contend with 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).

The senatorial district comprises nine local government areas, making the contest an important political engagement for the parties and their respective candidates as they seek to secure the support of voters ahead of the election.
