Comr. Sheriff Mulade, the National Democratic Party (NDP) candidate for Warri Federal Constituency in the 2027 general elections, has promised to prioritize women empowerment, employment creation, and inclusive representation if given the mandate. During a media engagement, Flagship Platform Programme of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) Warri Correspondents Chapel, Mulade unveiled his seven-point development agenda for the Federal Constituency.
Mulade's development agenda includes a proposed women empowerment programme aimed at reducing poverty, expanding economic opportunities, and improving the standard of living of families across Warri Federal Constituency. He stressed that empowering women would have a multiplier effect on families and communities, and that women should be given greater access to economic opportunities and support.
According to Mulade, his focus would not be limited to women alone, as young people would also be given opportunities through employment, skills development, and engagement with government agencies and private-sector organizations. He said that the office of a federal representative should be used to connect constituents with employment and other opportunities available through Ministries, Departments, and Agencies of the Federal Government.
Mulade proposed the establishment of an employment opportunities desk in his office in Abuja and Constituency Offices in the three Warri Local Government Areas. This structure would ensure that employment opportunities are not concentrated in one section of the constituency but made to go round the people across its diverse communities and ethnic groups.
Mulade linked youth empowerment to peace and security, arguing that meaningful employment and constructive engagement would reduce the vulnerability of young people to crime, violence, and political thuggery. He said that his decision to enter politics was based on the need to move beyond advocacy and participate directly in the legislative process.
Mulade said that Warri Federal Constituency deserved strong legislative representation capable of drawing the attention of the Federal Government to the challenges facing its people. He noted that since the discovery of oil and gas in the Niger Delta, the environment has not only been destroyed and degraded, but the ecosystem has been contaminated.
Mulade promised accessible and reliable representation, saying he would remain available to constituents and ensure that his campaign commitments were followed by action if elected. His seven-point agenda, tagged “Mandate to Serve 2027 — The Light of Hope,” also covers economic opportunities, quality healthcare, improved education, peace and unity, infrastructure, sustainable development, and employment creation.
