By Blessing Ebareotu<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Ijaw Youth Council (IYC) Western Zone commends the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for adhering to the Supreme Court’s directive by initiating the fresh delineation of electoral wards and polling units in the Warri Federal Constituency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This action demonstrates INEC’s commitment to upholding the rule of law and fostering democratic processes in our nation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We urge INEC to maintain fairness, equity, and credibility throughout the delineation exercise. It is essential that the rights and interests of all ethnic groups in the Warri Federal Constituency are represented justly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, we call upon Ijaw political leaders and stakeholders to engage actively in the delineation process. It is imperative that we defend and protect the rights of the Ijaw people within the Constituency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The IYC strongly condemns the recent attempts by some youths from the Itsekiri ethnic nationality to protest against this lawful exercise. Such actions are uncalled for and counterproductive. We warn that any efforts to disrupt or sabotage the delineation process will not be tolerated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, we call on all relevant security agencies to ensure that adequate security measures are in place to protect INEC officials and enable them to carry out their duties without hindrance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is imperative that the delineation process is conducted smoothly and without any form of intimidation or disruption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Signed:
Comrade Nicholas Igarama
Chairman, IYC Western Zone<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ebi Joshua Olowolayemo Esq.
Secretary, IYC Western Zone<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
