Founder of Omega Fire Ministry, Apostle Chibuzor Chinyere, has warned Nigerian youths against snatching ballot boxes during the 2027 general elections. In a video shared on X, the cleric said the era of ballot box snatching was over and urged young Nigerians not to allow themselves to be used by politicians.
Apostle Chibuzor claimed that Nigerians were tired of the old pattern of electoral violence and argued that politicians should not put young people at risk for their political interests. He specifically warned youths who may attempt to interfere with ballot boxes during the election, using strong language to emphasise the dangers involved.
The warning comes as INEC continues preparations for the 2027 elections. INEC Chairman Professor Joash Amupitan has said the commission is putting technological and legal measures in place to prevent ballot box snatching and manual manipulation of election results, while also calling for stronger voter education and civic engagement.
