The Senator-elect for Cross River North Senatorial District, Dr Stephen Adi Odey, has promised his constituents a robust and quality representation as he prepares to take his place in the Senate.
Odey, in a statement he personally endorsed on Wednesday, said that he would dedicate his time in the Red Chamber to fighting for the interest and wellbeing of the people of the Northern Cross River, by ensuring “that my people get what is legitimately theirs in the Nigeria project.”
The Senator-elect noted that his victory would not have been possible without the unwavering support of his teeming supporters and party faithful.
He specifically thanked the Cross River State governor, Professor Ben Ayade, the National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Prince Uche Secondus and members of the party’s National Working Committee for their support.
Dr Odey also expressed gratitude to the Deputy Governor, Professor Ejemot Ivara Esu, Chairman of his Campaign council and member of the House of Representatives, Hon. Legor Idagbo, Director-General, Dr Peter Ojie among other party stalwarts in the state for standing by him.
Describing the by-election as peaceful and transparent, Odey appealed to his opponent, Joe Agi (SAN), to “sheath his swords and join hands with me to take Cross River North Senatorial District to an enviable height.”
Dr Odey, in the December 5, 2020, Cross River North Senatorial bye-election, polled 129,207 votes to defeat his closest opponent, Joe Agi (SAN) of the All Progressives Congress, APC, who scored 19,165 votes.
The senator-elect was on Tuesday presented with a certificate of return by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
