Chief Sheriff Mulade, the winner of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) primary for the Warri federal constituency, thanked party delegates, supporters and constituents for the overwhelming backing that secured his victory in the closely contested primary held last Friday in Delta State.

In a statement personally signed by him and released yesterday, Mulade described the result as evidence of the confidence, trust and acceptance placed in him by the people of the Warri federal constituency.

The environmental rights activist and peace advocate said he remains humbled by the mandate entrusted to him and pledged to prioritise the interests of his constituents through effective, people‑oriented and responsive representation if elected in the general election.

He added that the victory belongs not only to him but to every resident of the constituency who believes in the ideals of good governance, unity and sustainable development.

“I deeply appreciate all those who participated in the electoral process, especially the delegates, supporters and well‑wishers who stood firmly behind my aspiration. Your support, trust and confidence mean a great deal to me,” he said.

Mulade called for unity, peaceful coexistence and collective progress among the three major ethnic groups that make up the constituency – the Ijaw, Itsekiri and Urhobo – stressing that Warri’s future depends on collaboration and mutual inclusiveness.

He noted that the primary result reflects the people’s desire for inclusive leadership, grassroots‑driven representation and a renewed commitment to addressing the constituency’s developmental needs.

“I dedicate this victory to God Almighty and all the people of Warri federal constituency, whom I seek to serve. This mandate is a call to greater responsibility, and I assure you that I will not let you down. Together, we shall build a constituency where every community has a voice and every citizen has a stake in our collective progress,” Mulade added.

The NDC candidate also urged party members and supporters to remain united and focused as the party prepares for the next phase of the electoral process, emphasizing that victory can only be sustained through solidarity, commitment and a shared vision for the development of Warri federal constituency.
