Ijaw, Urhobos protest INEC’s delineation of Warri Fed Constituency

The Indigenous Ijaw and Urhobo people of Warri Federal Constituency staged a peaceful protest, demanding the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) implement a Supreme Court-ordered fresh delineation of the Warri Federal Constituency. The protesters expressed frustration over the delay in executing the court's directive.

Adding to their grievances, the demonstrators condemned what they described as alleged interference by the Presidency in the constituency delineation process. This intervention, they claim, is hindering the fair and timely redrawing of electoral boundaries.

The protest underscores the sensitivity surrounding electoral boundary adjustments and the potential for political interference. The delay and alleged interference have fueled tensions among the affected communities, highlighting the importance of transparent and timely electoral processes.
