The senator representing Edo South in the National Assembly, Senator Neda Imasuen, has disclosed plans to dump the Labour Party (LP) for the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
The chairman of the Senate Committee on Ethics, Privileges, and Public Petitions, made the remark on Sunday in Benin City on the anniversary of his second year as a senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
The Edo South Senator, who will formally make his defection public on Thursday, June 12, 2025, cited the chaos in the LP as the reason for moving to the APC.
He described his defection as a strategic move that will better align Edo South with federal development priorities under President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.
Imasuen highlighted his achievements to include the establishment of the Federal College of Education, the Abudu Bill, and the resolution of over 20 public petitions.
He also highlighted vocational training schemes, agricultural support programs, rural initiative training of traditional birth attendants, and scholarships for students in the senatorial district.
The Edo South senator expressed his firm support for President Tinubu’s policies and harped on the need for stronger local government cooperation.
