THE
CHRONICLES, Jide Jimoh, a Worthy Representative. Have
you ever imagined why JJ has positively coloured the heart of the people in
Lagos Mainland Federal Constituency? The answer is embedded in the words of
John Maxwell, he said that 'Leadership is not about titles, positions, or flow
charts. It is about one life influencing another. Hon. Abdul-Raheem Olajide
Jimoh has proven himself on this platform to be a servant leader that knows his
onions in the business of representation in the lower legislative chamber.
Yes,
THE CHRONICLES of his Second Term as a member, House of Representatives
representing LAGOS MAINLAND FEDERAL CONSTITUENCY cannot be well said without
the first term as he determined to make a better and visible difference. In his first term, he initiated several projects and the track record of caring for
the people are overwhelming, ranging from motions, bills, facilitating
constructions/rehabilitations of visible projects, and the constituents'
empowerment. He has made the whole world, most especially his constituency
known that the essence of service is ensuring that there's direct
engagement with the people at the grassroots through the impacts of legislative
process.
Jimoh,
sought the support for a second term and the entire constituents shouting 'JJ
is the Man' right from primaries even till the day of the election to sustain
people-focused programmes that none in the history of Lagos Mainland politics
have done successfully. Indeed, his absolute loyalty to the people and the
party, All Progressives Congress (APC) cruised him to victory at the poll
against his opponent.
According
to Simon Sinek “People don’t buy what you do, they buy why you do it' which was
clearly demonstrated in the case of this lawmaker as he has brought effective
representation, accessibility, responsiveness, transparency, honesty and accountability
in the last few years that made everyone glued to his
philosophy because he's
doing the right things, while doing things right and the backing of THE
MERCIFUL GOD has made it possible to go extra steps at every point to ensure
that people are not disappointed.
Since
his inauguration as the 9th National Assembly member, he has been involved in
the parliamentary business to achieve the developmental agenda, not for his
constituency alone but for the entire Nigerians. He has personally moved several
motions to date and co-sponsored motions and bills to boost economic and
infrastructural development to the current enviable level. Judging from the
experience as the former councillor, state legislator, and the local government
chairman, we can say is a man beyond borders. Therefore, ranking him as one of
the outstanding lawmakers in the House of Representatives is not mistaken. He's
been excellent, through his eloquence, energy, frankness contributions to bills
and motions during floor debate and at the committees' levels.
