Here, the word imitated is wrong. It means to behave in a similar way to someone or something else, or to copy the speech or behaviour, etc. of someone or something. The correct word is intimated. The verb intimate means to make clear what you think or want without saying it directly. All year Daly had intimated that he was ready to step down and last night reports of his resignation did not come as any surprise.
