Contrary to speculations making the rounds, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), has said, it is yet to take a final decision on the delineation of Wards in the Warri Federal Constituency.
The Commission, in a statement by its National Commissioner and Chairman, Information and Voter Education Committee, Sam Olumekun, addressed the misconceptions about the proposed delineation of wards in the Warri Federal Constituency, which have led to widespread protests in the Constituency.
Olumekun in his words said the misleading narratives about the proposed delineation of Wards in Warri North, Warri South and Warri South West Federal Constituency as ordered by the Supreme Court in its judgement delivered on 2nd December 2022.
According to the statement, following the Supreme Court judgement, the Commission embarked on extensive consultations from February 2023 to July 2024 involving all the critical stakeholders, followed by fieldwork in all the communities in the three Local Government Areas culminating in the production of a draft report.
The statement also noted that INEC held further consultation with stakeholders in Warri last week on Friday 4th April 2025, where copies of the draft report were presented to the representatives of each of the parties connected with the issue.
”The purpose was to give them the opportunity to raise any concerns they might have. The overall objective was to arrive at an amicable agreement endorsed by all the parties involved.
”We urge representatives of the various stakeholders to submit their observations on the draft report which will serve as the basis for further engagement on the matter.
”Meanwhile, we appeal to all stakeholders in the constituency to refrain from engaging in any activity that could threaten the peace and security of the area. “he said.
The Commission further reiterated it’s commitment to continually operate based on fairness, equity, the rule of law and in full consultation with all relevant stakeholders in the nation’s electoral system.
