Mulade emphasized that he has the quality, competence, and capacity to represent the people of Warri Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives through purpose-driven representation that would bring in the much-needed overall development of the area.
According to Chief Mulade, his decision to consult the monarch first before embarking on his campaigns was a deliberate attempt to seek the blessings of the traditional leader. He praised the Olu for helping to build the existing peace in Warri Kingdom, noting that the monarch has used his position to foster peace in the area. Mulade also acknowledged that Warri is endowed with abundant natural resources that need to be tapped adequately for the overall benefit of its people, but noted that animosity and lack of unity have held the area back.

He has been involved in programs that bring ethnic groups together and is committed to promoting unity and peaceful co-existence.

In an interview with newsmen, Chief Mulade stated that he will continue to engage stakeholders and subjects of the revered monarch around the Warri Federal Constituency and others. He emphasized his commitment to working with the traditional leader and other stakeholders to ensure the development of the area. Responding, HM Atuwatse 111, who was accompanied by his Council of Chiefs, described Comr. Mulade as ably qualified and capable to represent the people of Warri Federal Constituency.
The Olu noted that Chief Mulade is a detribalized Deltan with proven integrity who has been promoting peace in Warri over the years through hosting football tournaments. He prayed and blessed the NDP candidate and his entourage to go and succeed, while also praying that God provides the much-needed resources to achieve his ambition. The monarch's endorsement is seen as a significant boost to Mulade's campaign.
