ASABA – The Itsekiri ethnic nationality has faulted what it calls “misleading interpretations” by Ijaw and Urhobo groups, of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s intervention in lingering differences over Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, ward delineation in Warri Federal Constituency, Delta State.

In a statement Tuesday by Sir A. S. Mene, Secretary, Itsekiri Leaders of Thought and delegate to the presidential truce meeting, the group said recent public messaging by some Ijaw and Urhobo groups misrepresents what transpired.

Mene stated, “Recent news advertorials and public statements issued by certain Ijaw and Urhobo groups do not accurately reflect the spirit and outcomes of the engagements convened by the President.”
