By Akpokona Omafuaire

OPOROZA – HIGH Chief Government Oweizide Ekpemupolo, a.k.a Tompolo has added his voice to that of Governor Sheriff Oborevwori by calling for calm and a peaceful resolution of the matter.

The call was made Tuesday by Tompolo in a personally signed press statement.

The statement read in part, “Since yesterday the 8th of June 2026, we are all living witnesses to the mass action by peaceful women and youths from our various communities occupying oil and gas installations in the Escravos and Warri river areas, since then many well meaning Nigerians have been calling for a peaceful resolution of the impasse.

“I join all well meaning Nigerians to call for a peaceful resolution.
The Ijaw nation has from time immemorial been known for their peaceful ways and we cannot deviate from our history.

“The current political situation arising from the failure of INEC to complete the delineation of wards in the Warri Federal Constituency and mass action must not be allowed to be hijacked or to degenerate into violence of any sort.

“I am calling for calm no matter the situation. I am also calling for a meeting of community leaders to meet immediately to enable us devise a way forward.

“We must all join hands in seeking a peaceful resolution to this impasse.

“INEC must determine to do the right thing and restore the peace in Warri and environs. We call on the people of Warri (whether Ijaw, Itsekiri or Urhobo) to be calm and wait patiently for INEC to do the right thing.” It added.
