Niger Delta environmentalist and peace advocate, Comrade Sheriff Mulade, has formally announced his intention to run for the House of Representatives seat representing Warri Federal Constituency in the 2027 general elections.

Mulade collected the Expression of Interest Form under the banner of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), expressing confidence that he will win the polls scheduled by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

Speaking shortly after receiving the form yesterday, the Delta State‑born development advocate described his bid as a commitment to serve humanity and advance the collective interests of the people of Warri Federal Constituency.

“I am very happy today for making this possible. I dedicate this form to God Almighty and humanity,” Mulade said.

The peace crusader, who holds the traditional title of Ibe‑Sorimowei of the ancient Gbaramatu Kingdom, also thanked the leadership of the Nigeria Democratic Congress for giving him the opportunity to contest.

He specifically praised former Bayelsa State Governor Henry Seriake Dickson for providing a credible political platform for progressive‑minded Nigerians.

Mulade said his ambition is driven by a desire to deliver purposeful, productive and inclusive representation to the constituency, which comprises the Itsekiri, Ijaw and Urhobo ethnic nationalities.

According to him, “I am the right man for the job at this moment. I represent peace, unity, development and inclusive people‑oriented representation devoid of ethnic sentiment and segregation.”

He pledged to strengthen peaceful coexistence and deepen mutual understanding among the various ethnic groups in the constituency, while attracting sustainable development to the Warri axis.
