Senator Joel-Onowakpo, who was represented by his Senior Special Assistant on Special Duties and Poverty Alleviation, Dr Andrew Egunoma particularly noted that the outcome of the fresh delineation will not only give the Ijaw, Itsekiri and Urhobo ethnic nationalities a better political platform but will also be a win-win situation for all.

“The three ethnic nationalities, Ijawa, Itsekiris and the Urhobos, are very peaceful group of people….. We may have been separated by geographical boundaries, but we must not forget the common socio-cultural, economic, and political bridges which have tied us together, and invariably our common values.

“Like we rightly agreed in our last meeting held in Asaba, we therefore urge the three ethnic groups to sensitize their people on the need for peace, unity, and a very stable enabling environment, to enable INEC carry out the proposed field delineation exercise,” Senator Joel-Onowakpo appealed.

Representatives of the traditional rulers of the Ijaw and Urhobo Kingdoms in Warri Federal Constituency wholeheartedly endorsed the fresh delineation of wards and polling units assuring INEC and the staff deployed for the exercise of the total cooperation of their people.
