By Egbemavoice,

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has debunked the widespread misconceptions surrounding the proposed delineation of wards in Warri North, Warri South, and Warri South West Federal Constituency, clarifying that no final decision has been made on the matter.

In a press statement issued today, Thursday, April 10, 2025, INEC affirmed that the process stems from the Supreme Court judgment of December 2, 2022, and has involved extensive consultations and fieldwork across the affected LGAs between February 2023 and July 2024.

Further stakeholder engagement was held in Warri on Friday, April 4, 2025, where parties received the draft report and were encouraged to provide feedback.

INEC emphasizes that the draft report is not final and calls on all stakeholders to submit their observations to guide the next phase of engagement.

Full statement below:

MISCONCEPTIONS ABOUT THE PROPOSED DELINEATION OF WARDS IN THE WARRI FEDERAL CONSITUENCY BY ORDER OF THE SUPREME COURT

Our attention has been drawn to 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.

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 Commission 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.
Therefore, contrary to the speculations making the rounds, the Commission is yet to take a final decision on the delineation of Wards in the Warri Federal Constituency.

We urge representatives of the various stakeholders to submit their obesrvations 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. The Commission will continue to operate based on fairness, equity, the rule of law and in full consultation with all stakeholders.
