2027: Mulade Unveils Vision for United, Prosperous Warri Federal Constituency
By Kaka Pere
The National Democratic Party (NDP) candidate for Warri Federal Constituency, Comrade Mulade Blessing Sheriff, PhD, has unveiled an agenda centred on ethnic unity, economic revival, youth empowerment and improved federal representation ahead of the 2027 House of Representatives election.
Mulade, a United Nations Peace Ambassador and environmental rights activist, spoke during his official campaign flag-off and consultation meeting with supporters and stakeholders at Tobiz Villa Event Centre, Warri, Delta State.
He said the 2027 election should be viewed as an opportunity for the people of Warri Federal Constituency to elect a representative with the capacity, competence and commitment to attract meaningful development to the area.
The NDP candidate argued that despite the constituency’s significant contribution to Nigeria’s economy, many communities continue to face developmental challenges, unemployment and inadequate federal attention.
He pledged to make constructive advocacy and stakeholder engagement central to his representation if elected, promising to ensure that issues affecting the people are effectively presented before the National Assembly.
“If elected in 2027 into the House of Representatives, Warri City and its environs would be given the deserved special attention through constructive advocacy and engagement with all relevant stakeholders. As the voice for the voiceless, I assure you that the voice of Warri people will be heard constructively,” he said.
Mulade also identified the revival of the Warri and Koko seaports and the Warri Industrial Park as key areas that could stimulate economic activity and create jobs across the constituency.
He said he would work with local, state and federal authorities, as well as relevant private-sector stakeholders, to pursue the revitalisation of the projects.
According to him, greater attention would also be given to agriculture, fisheries and skills acquisition as pathways to empower youths and women and reduce unemployment.
The Gbaramatu Kingdom traditional title holder maintained that his ambition was not about occupying a political position but about addressing what he described as the representation and development gaps confronting the constituency.
“I am not a political mole or placeholder, but I am here to close the gap through constructive advocacy, engagement and an inclusive approach,” Mulade stated.
He further called on the Ijaw, Itsekiri and Urhobo communities to reject ethnic rivalry and build stronger relationships based on trust and mutual respect.
“We cannot continue to fight ourselves, we cannot continue to deprive ourselves, we cannot continue to destroy ourselves,” he said, urging residents to rise above individual and ethnic considerations for the collective development of the constituency.
Mulade described his NDP candidacy as a “light of hope” for Warri Federal Constituency, expressing confidence that an inclusive approach to governance could strengthen peace, improve representation and unlock greater economic opportunities for the people.
He pledged that, if elected, his legislative agenda would focus on people-oriented representation, peacebuilding, economic development, employment creation and sustained advocacy for the constituency at the federal level.
