The senator made the statements at the weekend during a welcome home reception organized by the Edo South Development Patriots ( ESDP) to honor Senator Matthew Urhoghide for the projects he brought to Edo South in Benin city.
He said the former senator had also touched the lives of some individuals who are not from the district because of his generosity.
He added: “Well, I am not very surprised at the accolade given to my predecessor, Senator Matthew Urhoghide. He is a man of great accomplishments that are spread all over the place.
“These are accomplishments that are verifiable, and accomplishments that are spread across the seven local government in Edo South Senatorial district.
“There are a lot that people have not spoken about of Senator Mathew, and how he had even helped many individuals. In the areas of giving scholarship to students, empowering people with skills capacity”
Imaseun said these achievements are a call to greater service.
“I am happy because the immediate past senator has been honest, giving those of us that are just coming up, and I that took over from him, the strength to do it better than the way it has been done before so that we too can be remember the way he has been remembered today.
“I am excited, happy and glad, and I thank those who organized this event to welcome back home Senator Matthew Unohoghide. He has done so well, his representation in Edo South Senatorial district had spoken great volumes and praises,” Neda stated
Asked his charge to politicians, the senator representing Edo South said, “To politicians, including myself, unknown to us, the press is watching all our activities. So, whatever things we are doing must reflect the wishes, focus and demands of the people so that we can be credibly remembered to have done things that have impact meaningfully in the lives of the people we represented. When we do that, the honour given to Senator Matthew today, will also be given to us,” he stressed.
