Senator Neda Imasuen

Another Senator is about to desert the Labour Party of Nigeria as the lawmaker representing Edo South at the national assembly, Senator Neda Imasuen, is set to defect to the All Progressives Congress (APC) on June 12, 2025.

Imasuen, the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Ethics, Code of Conduct and Public Petitions, was elected on the platform of the Labour Party in 2023.

While speaking in Benin on Sunday to mark his second year in office, Senator Imasuen said that his decision is aimed at better aligning Edo South with federal development priorities under President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.

He said his defection is very important as he outlined numerous legislative and community achievements, including the Federal College of Education, Abudu (Establishment) Bill, and resolution of over 20 public petitions.

He also outlined vocational training schemes, agricultural support programmes, and a rural initiative training traditional birth attendants.

Imaseun said scholarships have also been awarded to students in his district.

He said: “I will be leaving the Labour Party to the APC as the current disarray in the LP will not help me achieve my aim for my people.

“My movement will also help align Edo South with the federal government and bring development to our people.”

Speaking on the challenges of sustaining constituency projects, Imasuen called for stronger local government cooperation.

He promised continued focus on health, youth empowerment, and rural development, and voiced firm support for President Tinubu’s policies.

Also, Imaseun noted that over 20 public petitions from across the country have been resolved under his leadership.

“These interventions have made a significant difference in the lives of ordinary Nigerians,” he said.

The senator also underscored his efforts in promoting agriculture, a sector he described as the cornerstone of national survival.

He disclosed that several agricultural programmes have been implemented in Edo South to train farmers in modern techniques and provide tools for enhanced productivity.

“We’ve focused on rubber, cocoa, and cashew farming.

“There are testimonies from farmers whose yields have improved significantly,” Imaseun said.
