The purpose of this letter is to respectfully urge your office to refrain from being used either overtly or covertly as an instrument by certain interest groups seeking to obstruct the constitutional and judicially mandated work of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).<br>\u200e<br>\u200eSpecifically, we call on your esteemed office to uphold its non-judicial, apolitical role by resisting the pressure reportedly being exerted by a section of the Itsekiri elite and sympathisers. These actors have allegedly attempted to influence the outcome of INEC\u2019s delineation process through a parade of legally inconsequential and often frivolous court rulings aimed at undermining the field report of the Commission. It is imperative that your office respects the jurisdictional boundaries set by the Constitution: the NSA office is not a court of law and electoral matters fall squarely within INEC\u2019s constitutional mandate.<br>\u200e<br>\u200eThe Supreme Court Judgment: Clear, Binding and Final<br>\u200e<br>\u200eOn December 2, 2022, the Supreme Court of Nigeria, in Hon. George Timinimi &amp; Others v. INEC (SC.413\/2016), issued an unequivocal judgment: that no electoral process whether voter registration or elections, should proceed in Warri Federal Constituency until a full delineation of wards and polling units has been completed and implemented.<br>\u200eThis is not a discretionary guideline. It is a binding judicial directive. INEC, having commendably concluded its fieldwork for this delineation, is now duty-bound to publish and operationalize the report without further delay. Any interference or delay, especially one driven by extrajudicial influence or politically orchestrated court interpretations would not only constitute contempt of court but would also jeopardize national security by undermining public confidence in the democratic process.<br>\u200e<br>\u200eDisinformation and Historical Revisionism: The Role of Itsekiri Leadership<br>\u200e<br>\u200eIt is deeply troubling that INEC\u2019s inaction appears linked to ongoing campaigns of historical revisionism and disinformation led by Itsekiri leaders. These individuals falsely claim near-total ancestral ownership of Warri Federal Constituency, an assertion flatly contradicted by centuries of historical, colonial, legal and governmental documentation.<br>\u200e<br>\u200eContrary to this revisionist narrative, the Ijaw people of Ogbe-Ijoh, Gbaramatu, Isaba, Diebiri and Egbema Kingdoms are the aboriginal inhabitants of Warri Federal Constituency. Their settlements and systems of governance predate the arrival of Prince Ginuwa and the establishment of the Itsekiri monarchy.<br>\u200eMultiple court judgments, far from supporting the Itsekiri claim, in fact repudiate it. For instance:<br>\u200e\u2022Suit Nos. W\/148\/56 and W\/63\/58 were struck out, no legal rights were awarded.<br>\u200e\u2022In Idudun v. Okumagba (W\/48\/68), the Supreme Court confirmed that the Ginuwa dynasty did not extend to Warri city.<br>\u200e\u2022In CA\/AS\/4041\/2016, the court dismissed attempts to nullify Ijaw and Urhobo traditional leadership recognition.<br>\u200e\u2022In Warri North, landmark cases such as SC\/208\/2002, W\/53A\/63, and C\/S\/2\/58 confirmed the Egbema Ijaw people\u2019s land rights.<br>\u200eThese are not merely legal precedents; they represent historical truth.<br>\u200e<br>\u200eOgbe-Ijoh: The Foundational Kingdom of Warri Township of Warri South L.G.A<br>\u200e<br>\u200eAs documented in the 1928 Warri Township Assessment Report, \u201cOgbe-Ijoh was the original settlement which became the nucleus of Warri Township.\u201d Historical records also show that in 1923, the Itsekiri leader, Chief Dore Numa, acknowledged in writing that he acquired land in Warri via leases from the Ogbe-Ijoh people, never by native title.<br>\u200eThis acknowledgment further invalidates recent Itsekiri claims of dominion over the entire Warri area. It also affirms the Ijaw people&#8217;s foundational status in the social, political and economic fabric of Warri Federal Constituency.<br>\u200e<br>\u200eOfficial Recognition of Ijaw Autonomy in Warri Federal Constituency.<br>\u200e<br>\u200eOver the decades, statutory and customary law has consistently recognized the distinct identity and sovereignty of Ijaw Kingdoms and their communities:<br>\u200eWarri Divisional Council (W.R.L.N. 176 of 1955) \u2013 Recognized Ogbe-Ijoh as a distinct council area.<br>\u200eWarri Urban District Council (W.R.L.N. 177 of 1955) \u2013 Allotted separate electoral wards to Ogbe-Ijoh: Wards B3, C1, C2, and F1.<br>\u200eChiefs Law (1957, Cap 19) \u2013 Excluded Egbema, Gbaramatu, and Ogbe-Ijoh from the Olu of Warri\u2019s authority.<br>\u200eBendel State Edict (B.S.L.N. 44 of 1979) \u2013 Recognized the Amaokosu of Ogbe-Ijoh as the traditional ruler of the area.<br>\u200eDelta State Traditional Rulers Law, officially identifies seven (7) distinct and independent kingdoms in Warri Federal Constituency:<br>\u200eOgbe-Ijoh Kingdom (Ama-Okosu of Ogbe-Ijoh)<br>\u200eGbaramutu Kingdom (Pere of Gbaramatu)<br>\u200eEgbema Kingdom (Agadagba of Egbema)<br>\u200eIsaba Kingdom ( Pere of Isaba)<br>\u200eItsekiri Kingdom (Olu of Warri)<br>\u200eOkere-Urhobo Kingdom (Orosuen)<br>\u200eAgbarha Kingdom (Ovie of Agbarha)<br>\u200eThis institutional recognition further invalidates Itsekiri claims over Ogbe-Ijoh, Gbaramatu, Isaba, Diebiri and Egbema lands and territories.<br>\u200e<br>\u200eJudicial Confirmation of Ijaw Autonomy<br>\u200e<br>\u200eThe late Olu of Warri, Ogiame Atuwatse II, in Suit A\/36\/1999 and its appeal (CA\/AS\/4041\/2016), sought to invalidate the recognition of Urhobo and Ijaw traditional rulers in Warri. Both cases were dismissed, the most recent judgment delivered on June 5, 2023, reasserting the legal standing of Ijaw and Urhobo leadership in Warri Federal Constituency.<br>\u200e<br>\u200eWarri South West: Demographics, Geography and Legal Reality<br>\u200e<br>\u200eContrary to Itsekiri claims, Warri South West is overwhelmingly Ijaw. The Ogbe-Ijoh, Gbaramatu, Isaba and Diebiri kingdoms constitute the majority. The only Itsekiri presence is a narrow coastal strip, roughly 1.5 km wide comprising Ugborodo, Madangho, Akpakpa, Ajudaibo and Ogidigben.<br>\u200eDespite this, electoral wards were disproportionately allocated to these smaller Itsekiri communities, the Supreme Court\u2019s judgment in SC\/413\/2016 explicitly aimed to correct this electoral imbalances caused by historical manipulation.<br>\u200e<br>\u200eMisleading Use of Court Cases<br>\u200e<br>\u200eItsekiris often cite cases such as Apoh &amp; Perememighan or Eyin Pessu v. Brigbe, which either bear no relevance to Ijaw territories or concern minor disputes. For example:<br>\u200eW\/30\/71: Chief Kenekeredi Bebeakele v. Alopkpa Olioki affirmed Ogbe-Ijoh ownership.<br>\u200eWACC\/651T\/93: Wilikie (Inorin) v. Korukeme (Ogbe-Ijoh), Itsekiri claims were dismissed.<br>\u200eCA\/B\/228\/1997 overturned a flawed ruling in W\/124\/76: Tuoyo v. Akori, which had wrongly granted Itsekiris rights over some portions of Gbaramatu lands.<br>\u200eThis pattern of suing select families, inflating land claims and misapplying judgments must be exposed and rejected.<br>\u200e<br>\u200eIsaba and Diebiri: Sovereignty Beyond Contest<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u200eIsaba Kingdom has no record of land disputes with the Itsekiris. On the contrary, the Itsekiri royal line descends from Ginuwa\u2019s marriage to Ebinimi-ere of Isaba.<br>\u200eThe Diebiri people, likewise, have exercised autonomous governance since pre-colonial times. They signed a Treaty of Protection in 1893 and their sovereignty was affirmed in the 1931 Warri Intelligence Report by C.C. Legge.<br>\u200e<br>\u200eWARRI NORTH LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREA<br>\u200e<br>\u200eThe Egbema Ijaw people are governed by His Royal Majesty, the Agadagba of Egbema. In legal terms, the Itsekiris have consistently lost all land disputes to the Egbema Ijaws:<br>\u200eAppeal No. SC\/208\/2002: Anireju Keregbe &amp; Anor v. Sunday Keregbe &amp; Ors, the case, which involved land at Uba Majebi Ogbosanine, was dismissed from the Area Customary Court through to the Supreme Court on January 25, 2008.<br>\u200eSuit No. W\/53A\/63: The court upheld the earlier ruling in Suit C\/S\/2\/58, confirming Ijaw ownership of all lands in and around Tsekelewu, while the Itsekiris were declared as customary tenants.<br>\u200eThese legal precedents invalidate any notion of Itsekiri ownership and dominion over Warri North.<br>\u200e<br>\u200eA Plea for Institutional Integrity and Non-Interference<br>\u200e<br>\u200eYour Excellency, the Office of the National Security Adviser is a cornerstone of national stability. It must not be misused as a conduit for partisan interests or legal distortions. The office of the NSA is not a court of law. It is neither the interpreter nor the enforcer of Supreme Court rulings; that role lies with the judiciary and constitutionally empowered institutions such as INEC.<br>\u200eBy allowing INEC to fulfill its lawful mandate free from political intimidation or judicial theater, your office will reinforce national security, public trust and the rule of law.<br>\u200e<br>\u200eConclusion: Let Justice and Democracy Prevail<br>\u200e<br>\u200eWith the 2027 general elections approaching, time is of the essence. We respectfully urge your office to:<br>\u200e1.Distance itself from any attempt to obstruct or influence INEC\u2019s execution of the delineation field report.<br>\u200e2.Ensure that national security is not weaponized to serve narrow interests under any guise.<br>\u200e3. Order INEC to release the final Ward Delineation Report without further delay.<br>\u200e<br>\u200eThe Supreme Court has spoken. The Constitution is clear. History is unambiguous. Now is the time for action.<br>\u200eLet justice be done, lest the nation reap the consequences of institutional compromise and historical denial.<br>\u200e<br>\u200eYours faithfully,<br>\u200e<br>\u200eEbiowei Kuro<br>\u200ePresident<br>\u200e<br>\u200eEzonkeme Owei<br>\u200ePublicity Secretary<br>\u200e<br>\u200eIJaw Stakeholders of Warri Federal
