Senator Imasuen gives reasons he’s leaving Labour Party for APC


Chairman of the Senate Committee on Ethics, Privileges and Public Petitions,
Senator Neda Imasuen, has revealed his plans to dump the Labour Party (LP) for the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
The Edo South Senator, elected under LP, will formally make his defection public on Thursday, June 12, 2025.
Speaking on the anniversary of his second year as a Senator of the Federal Republic, Imasuen cited the chaos in the Labour Party 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 including the establishment of the Federal College of Education, the Abudu Bill, and the resolution of over 20 public petitions.
“As Chairman of the Senate Committee on Ethics and Public Petitions, we have resolved over 20 public petitions from across the country.
“These interventions have made a significant difference in the lives of ordinary Nigerians.
“We’ve focused on rubber, cocoa, and cashew farming. There are testimonies from farmers whose yields have improved significantly,” he said.
