The lawmaker-elect under the platform of APC for Okitipupa/Irele Federal Constituency in Ondo State, Prince Jimi Odimayo, has appreciated his constituents for ensuring his victory at the February 25 polls.
This is contained in a statement he issued personally on Tuesday in Irele.
Odimayo said he was deeply moved by the massive support of his constituents, which gave him victory.
He promised to be a listening representative who would take ideas and suggestions from the constituents to bring dividends of democracy to them and development to the area.
“I want to thank my fellow Ikale indigenes, both home and abroad, for honouring me with your votes on February 25.
“I am deeply moved by your massive support, uncommon love, expression of confidence and total submission of future hope for my mandate from all the communities that make up Ikaleland in both Okitipupa and Irele Local Government Areas.
“My appreciation will not be complete without specially thanking our ‘Talk and Do’ Governor, Oluwarotimi Odunayo Akeredolu, his wife, Mrs Betty Anyanwu-Akeredolu and deputy governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, for believing in me and my aspiration for my people.
“I owe the first family a lot and I pray that your children shall receive helps from far and near.
“To our party state Chairman, Mr Ade Adetimehin, your fatherly roles and encouragement on my political aspiration is legendary. Indeed, you led the way to this victory.
“I thank you from the bottom of my heart, as I am yet to figure out what really qualify me to enjoy such fundamental love, willingness and enthusiasm to be your representative at the Green Chamber of the National Assembly from June.
“I owe you a huge load of gratitude and also immensely grateful to my immediate family, the Royal Dynasty of Oba Feyisara Odimayo, political associates, business partners, social friends and loyal party and non-partisan supporters who so generously contributed their time, effort and finances to our campaign,” he stated.
