Warri Delineation Exercise: Ijaw Storm FCT Abuja, Applaud INEC



By Egbemavoice,

The ongoing solidarity demonstration at the INEC Headquarters in Abuja by the Ijaws of the Warri Federal Constituency is a powerful and heartfelt expression of our collective gratitude to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). This peaceful gathering reflects the unified voice of the Ijaw people, acknowledging INEC’s commendable role as a fair and impartial institution committed to upholding the rule of law.

We are especially thankful for INEC’s faithful implementation of the Supreme Court’s judgment regarding the ward delineation in Warri Federal Constituency — a matter of deep historical and political significance. The Court’s decision corrected decades of imbalance and marginalization, ensuring the Ijaw population, long underrepresented despite their significant presence, now receives fair and just recognition.

The Supreme Court reaffirmed the principles of equity and fairness in representation, ordering a new delineation exercise that accurately reflects the constituency’s demographic and geographic realities. INEC’s prompt and transparent execution of this judgment, culminating in the recently published delineation results, marks a significant milestone in our democratic journey.

For the Ijaw people, this is more than an administrative act — it is a symbolic restoration of justice, inclusion, and rightful representation in the political fabric of Warri Federal Constituency. Our presence in Abuja today is not in protest but in peace and gratitude — to celebrate democracy, to commend INEC’s integrity, and to reaffirm our identity as a peace-loving, law-abiding people.

As we offer our appreciation, we also reaffirm our commitment to unity, peaceful coexistence, and active engagement in the democratic process. This is a victory not just for the Ijaw people, but for justice, equity, and the enduring rule of law in Nigeria.

Breaking: Court Sacks Ibas as Rivers Sole Administrator, Orders Tinubu to Reinstate Fubara ,

By
By EgbemaVoice, The Federal High Court sitting in Port Harcourt has ruled in favor of Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara, ordering the immediate removal of the Sole Administrator appointed by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu from the Government House. The court’s decision, delivered on Tuesday morning, gives the Tinubu-backed appointee 48 hours to vacate the premises, reaffirming Governor Fubara’s constitutional mandate as the duly elected leader of Rivers State. Justice Boma Diepriye, who presided over the case, ruled that the appointment of a Sole Administrator to oversee the affairs of a state with a sitting, democratically elected governor is “illegal, null, and void.” The court emphasized that the Nigerian Constitution provides no room for such an appointment in a federating unit where a governor has neither been impeached nor incapacitated.
