He explained that his “Mandate to Serve 2027 – The Light of Hope” agenda would prioritise economic empowerment, job creation, youth and women development, skills acquisition and improved representation for the people of Warri Federal Constituency.

Mulade stressed that the constituency belongs to all its constituent ethnic nationalities, noting that his aspiration transcends ethnic considerations and is focused on advancing the collective interests of the people.

According to him, lasting development can only be achieved through peaceful coexistence, mutual trust and cooperation among the Itsekiri, Ijaw and Urhobo ethnic groups.
