Delta State Governor Sheriff Oborevwori intervenes in tensions linked to the ward and unit delineation exercise in Warri Federal Constituency. Multiple outlets report that the governor convenes a high-level peace meeting at Government House, Asaba, bringing together key leaders representing the Ijaw, Itsekiri and Urhobo ethnic nationalities. The discussions focus on managing disagreements surrounding how wards and units are defined in the area, which have reportedly triggered unrest and strained relations among the groups.
At the meeting, Oborevwori calls for dialogue and peaceful coexistence among the communities, and stakeholders pledge unity and to work towards de-escalation. The governor’s intervention is presented as an effort to prevent further escalation and to encourage collaborative approaches to resolving disputes related to the delineation process.
Both reports describe the same core actions: a state-level mediation led by the governor, the participation of the three major ethnic blocs in Warri, and a shared commitment to peace-building measures aimed at stabilising the constituency ahead of any electoral or administrative implications of the delineation exercise.
