ASABA — Stakeholders have commended the Ijaw, Itsekiri, and Urhobo ethnic groups for embracing renewed peace following tensions linked to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) delineation of the Warri Federal Constituency in Delta State.
The Niger Delta Concerned Stakeholders for Accountable Security and Progress also praised Governor Sheriff Oborevwori for mediating the dispute and ensuring what they described as an impartial and timely intervention that prioritised peace and development.
In a statement on Tuesday, the group’s leader, Enisuo Oruomoni, said the governor’s effort reflected leadership that “chooses peace over war and development over destruction,” adding that the outcome was a win for all parties involved.
