He argued that the electoral body exceeded its constitutional responsibility by allegedly introducing communities and coordinates outside the legally recognised Warri Federal Constituency during the delineation process. He maintained that INEC’s role was administrative and not that of a boundary adjustment commission.
Eyengho also insisted that the latest document released by INEC was only a proposal and not a final report, contrary to celebrations in some quarters. He explained that stakeholders from the Itsekiri, Ijaw and Urhobo ethnic groups were invited to study the proposal and submit their observations before a final decision would be reached.
