“The current boundary adjustment exercise has triggered inflammatory statements and growing agitation across ethnic lines.

“If swift, peaceful intervention is not taken, Warri risks sliding back into the kind of crisis that once shattered communities and displaced thousands.”-Digbopho stated.

He recalled that the previous Warri crisis led to massive loss of lives, economic downturn, and psychological trauma effects still felt decades later. According to him, many of today’s youths and students never witnessed those dark days and must not be made to relive such horrors.

The student leader called on President Tinubu to initiate urgent peacebuilding measures and also appealed to the Delta State government to act as a stabilizing force in the region. “We urge the respected traditional rulers of the Ijaw, Itsekiri, and Urhobo communities to guide their people toward peace,” he added.

Digbopho further advised INEC to conduct the boundary review exercise with fairness, transparency, and sensitivity, emphasizing that neutrality is critical to maintaining trust and stability.

“INEC must avoid bias, favoritism, or any form of sentiment in carrying out this exercise. The integrity of the process will determine whether peace is preserved or broken,” he noted.

NANS  called  for unity among all stakeholders and encouraged the transformation of past divisions into collective progress. “Let the energy once used for conflict now serve the cause of development. A stitch in time saves nine,” the statement read.

The association reiterated its commitment to peace, justice, and the protection of students and communities across Nigeria.
