The Senate has approved the restoration of Aniocha North II State Constituency in Delta State, following a Supreme Court judgment in Suit No. SC/129/2019.
Lawmakers have directed the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to implement the decision by reinstating the constituency in the next Delta State House of Assembly election, after the current legislative term.
The approval follows a motion sponsored by Senator Ned Nwoko (APC, Delta North), detailing how residents of several communities legally fought for the constituency’s restoration.
Despite court rulings in their favor since 2017, including a final Supreme Court decision in 2019, INEC had delayed action.
Senate President Godswill Akpabio emphasized the binding nature of Supreme Court rulings, urging INEC and the House of Representatives to ensure immediate compliance before the 2027 elections.
The decision reaffirms the Senate’s commitment to upholding judicial verdicts and ensuring proper legislative representation for Aniocha North II.
