The fact that the delineation process has long been concluded yet the final report remains suppressed exposes INEC to suspicion of collusion and compromise. This is unacceptable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We state clearly \u2014 INEC\u2019s delay will not bring peace; it will breed resentment, distrust, and crisis. The repercussion of denying communities their right to fair representation is already creating tension across Warri Federal Constituency. If this delay continues, INEC will be held directly responsible for any breakdown of law and order that follows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We challenge INEC to come clean and tell Nigerians who is pressuring the Commission to sit on the report. The Commission must stop hiding in silence and speak openly to the world. Anything less is an insult to democracy and an attack on the peace of Warri people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We therefore call on High Chief Government Oweizide Ekpemupolo (Tompolo), the President of the Ijaw National Congress (INC), Prof. Benjamin Okaba, and all well-meaning Niger Delta and Nigerian leaders to intervene and demand that INEC announce the final delineation report without further delay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let it be known: our patience has limits. We cannot and will not allow the rights of our people to be mortgaged by political manipulation. If INEC fails to act swiftly, it will be clear to the world that the Commission has chosen crisis over justice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Signed:<br \/>Warri Ijaws Stakeholders<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tariwei Goodman Ebi<br \/>Chairman<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ebiwie Godfrey<br \/>Secretary.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Esther David The Warri Ijaws Stakeholders issue this strong warning to the Independent National&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":4851,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[13],"tags":[1487],"class_list":["post-4873","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-inecs-delay-in-implementing-the-warri-federal-constituency-delineation-report-is-a-recipe-for-crisis___warri-ijaw-stakeholders-warns"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/coastaltimes.com.ng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/img_3273-1.jpg?fit=1040%2C767&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":4711,"url":"https:\/\/coastaltimes.com.ng\/index.php\/2025\/08\/20\/just-in-advocacy-group-charges-inec-to-announce-supreme-court-ordered-warri-federal-constituency-delineation-report-at-once-says-the-continuous-delay-in-implementing-the-report-is-dangerous-and-can\/","url_meta":{"origin":4873,"position":0},"title":"JUST IN: Advocacy Group Charges INEC To Announce Supreme Court Ordered Warri Federal Constituency Delineation Report At Once, Says The Continuous Delay In Implementing The Report Is Dangerous And Can Result To Crisis","author":"Freeborn Abraye","date":"August 20, 2025","format":false,"excerpt":"By Uche Alvin OPEN LETTER TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OF NIGERIA, INEC AND ALL NIGERIANS RE: INEC MUST ANNOUNCE THE SUPREME COURT\u2013ORDERED FINAL DELINEATION RESULT FOR WARRI FEDERAL CONSTITUENCY NOW From: Concerned Stakeholders of Warri Federal ConstituencyDate: [20\/8\/2025] WHEN JUSTICE IS DELAYED, IT BECOMES POLITICAL VIOLENCE The Supreme Court of\u2026","rel":"","context":"In &quot;Electoral&quot;","block_context":{"text":"Electoral","link":"https:\/\/coastaltimes.com.ng\/electoral\/"},"img":{"alt_text":"","src":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/coastaltimes.com.ng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/img_1745-1.jpg?fit=686%2C386&ssl=1&resize=350%2C200","width":350,"height":200,"srcset":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/coastaltimes.com.ng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/img_1745-1.jpg?fit=686%2C386&ssl=1&resize=350%2C200 1x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/coastaltimes.com.ng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/img_1745-1.jpg?fit=686%2C386&ssl=1&resize=525%2C300 1.5x"},"classes":[]},{"id":5263,"url":"https:\/\/coastaltimes.com.ng\/index.php\/2026\/01\/06\/warri-ijaw-stakeholders-warns-of-legal-actions-electoral-consequences-over-inecs-refusal-to-implement-announce-warri-federal-constituency-delineation-report-ahead-of-2027-elections\/","url_meta":{"origin":4873,"position":1},"title":"Warri Ijaw Stakeholders Warns Of Legal Actions, Electoral Consequences Over INEC\u2019s Refusal To Implement, Announce Warri Federal Constituency Delineation Report Ahead Of 2027 Elections.","author":"Freeborn Abraye","date":"January 6, 2026","format":false,"excerpt":"By Ebiowei Gabriel The Warri Ijaw Stakeholders have expressed grave concern over the continued refusal of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to announce and implement the Warri Federal Constituency wards and polling units delineation exercise report, despite a binding order of the Supreme Court of Nigeria.
