Olusegun Samuel in Yenagoa and Sylvester Idowu in WarriIjaw Youth Council (IYC) has alleged that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) is fuelling crisis in Warri Federal Constituency by embarking on continuous voters’ registration exercise against a Supreme Court judgement.
In a statement by its spokesman, Binebia Princewill, IYC said the Supreme Court, in a judgement in 2022, had voided previous wards and units in the constituency, and so INEC had no locus standi to proceed with its continuous voter registration exercise.
It added that the reports emanating from officials of INEC and the commission itself seemed to be shrouded in a veil of confusion.
IYC stated, “On one hand, it is reported that the commission has suspended the Warri Federal Constituency ward delineation exercise and transferred it to the office of the National Security Adviser (NSA).
IYC warned the federal government to avoid throwing the country into another form of unrest on account of INEC’s refusal to obey court order.
