By EgbemaVoice Reporter, Ijaw and Urhobo leaders in Warri have defended the final report of the Supreme Court-ordered delineation of the Warri Federal Constituency, urging the Federal Government and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to disregard what they described as misleading claims by some Itsekiris and Urhobos of Agbarha Kingdom.

The issue of Gelegele and the Ijaws in present-day Edo State is often misunderstood.

The issue of Gelegele and the Ijaws in present-day Edo State is often misunderstood. Historically, the Ijaw people did not migrate into Edo State after the state was created.  Rather, the creation of modern states and boundaries divided already existing Ijaw communities, leaving some within what is now Edo State. Here's the historical explanation in simple terms: The Ijaw people are one of the oldest indigenous groups in the Niger Delta, occupying territories stretching across present-day Bayelsa, Delta, Rivers, Ondo, Akwa Ibom and parts of Edo State. Long before Nigeria was divided into regions and states, Ijaw communities already existed around the Benin River, Gelegele, and adjoining riverine areas. During colonial administration, these areas were administered together under different provinces without regard to ethnic boundaries. When the Mid-Western Region was created in 1963, and later Bendel State in 1976, Ijaw communities in the Benin River axis became part of those adminis...
