The Itsekiri ethnic group in Delta State has challenged interpretations offered by Ijaw and Urhobo communities regarding President Bola Tinubu’s recent involvement in resolving disagreements over ward boundaries within the Warri federal constituency. The dispute centers on the delineation of wards by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). Itsekiri leaders claim the other groups are misrepresenting the President’s intervention. A statement released by Itsekiri representatives alleges these misinterpretations are attempts to distort the facts of the matter. The core issue revolves around establishing fair representation in the upcoming elections through accurate ward divisions. Further details regarding the specifics of the disputed delineations and the President’s proposed solutions remain limited. The Itsekiri are asserting their position as the accurate interpreters of the presidential directive.
