We will not tolerate. We will not negotiate. We will disrupt it,\u201d Abraye declared. \u201cThis is not a threat, it is a promise. The days of using illegal structures to rig, suppress, and marginalize entire communities are over.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Abraye accused entrenched political interests of deliberately attempting to undermine the authority of the Supreme Court and subvert INEC\u2019s delineation exercise for selfish gain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou cannot trample on a Supreme Court judgment and expect peace. You cannot impose illegality and expect compliance. What you are planning is not politics, it is criminality, and it will be resisted with full force of civic mobilization.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He warned security agencies against complicity or silence, stressing that any attempt to provide cover for illegal primaries would amount to aiding and abetting electoral fraud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cTo the security agencies: your loyalty is to the Constitution, not to desperate politicians. Any officer or institution that enables this lawlessness will be held accountable in the eyes of the law and the people.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reaffirming his stance, Abraye issued a final, defiant ultimatum:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNo delineation, no primaries. No justice, no process. Attempt it, and face the consequences. Warri Federal Constituency will not be dragged backward into oppression, manipulation, and political slavery. Not again. Not now. Not ever.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Esther David Comrade Freeborn Abraye, National Coordinator of the Niger Delta Advocates For
