The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has said that it has not suspended action on the proposed delineation of wards in the Warri Federal Constituency by order of the Supreme Court.
The clarification followed reports that the delineation has been suspended.
The Commission said one of its officials was misquoted on the proposed delineation of wards in Warri Federal Constituency as ordered by the Supreme Court in its judgement delivered on 2nd December 2022.
INEC, in a statement signed by Sam Olumekun, National Commissioner and Chairman, Information & Voter Education Committee on Monday, affirmed that contrary to the report, the proposed delineation has not been suspended and no final decision has been taken on the matter.
“Meanwhile, the ongoing nationwide Continuous Voter Registration, CVR, is being undertaken in all the local government areas under the said constituency,” the statement added.
“We appeal to all the parties connected to the matter to continue to maintain the peace in the area.”
