He lamented that the present and past leaders of his Constituency had neglected the youths which he believes hitherto formed the background for the current unrest in his Constituency.
“I’ve watched my Constituency from 1999 and alot has gone wrong, which is absolutely against the youths of the Constituency an I’ve seen that the people we’ve produced so far have done well but not particularly to the youths,
“As a leader, I will make out a session to discuss with the youths of my Constituency to find out what they need, my duty would be to guide and direct them and protect them.
“The Youths are the feature of tomorrow and we must take it now with good orientation and better education.” Odii stated.

“Other communities are doing well in education but my people are backward, this is why I’m here to give my people the light on how to get it right“
He lamented over the fact that people in his community were not properly encouraged to get better education and said he would use his experience from the common man’s perspective to enlighten his people.
“No body from my Constituency will be idle”.
Odii equally expressed confidence that his people would vote for him irrespective of his political party: “We are in a revolution, party politics don’t count today and my vision is to give my people hope and strength the leadership vacuum”. he added.
