Senator Neda Imasuen, who represents Edo South Senatorial District, on Wednesday’s plenary officially dumped the Labour Party to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), citing persistent internal crises and leadership challenges within his former party.

His decision was formally communicated to the Senate in a letter read during Wednesday’s plenary session by Senate President Godswill Akpabio.

In the letter, Senator Imasuen disclosed that his defection followed extensive consultations with his constituents, political allies, and supporters across Edo South. He explained that the move is intended to align with the development-driven policies of the Federal Government and the Renewed Hope agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

According to Imasuen, the internal divisions and leadership struggles within the Labour Party have hindered his ability to effectively deliver democratic dividends to his constituents.

He further noted that the APC offers a broader national platform and the political structure necessary to fulfill the mandate entrusted to him by the people of Edo South advantages he said the Labour Party currently lacks.

The Senate officially welcomed Senator Imasuen into the APC caucus. In a light-hearted remark, Senate President Godswill Akpabio said, “You will no longer Labour in vain.”

With this defection, the APC further consolidated its position in the 10th Senate, increasing its number of seats to 69—just four short of the two-thirds majority required to pass key legislation without opposition.

Current Composition of the 10th Senate:

APC – 69 seats

PDP – 30 seats

Labour Party – 4 seats

SDP – 2 seats

NNPP – 1 seat

APGA – 1 seat

A total of 107 seats are currently occupied, with two seats still vacant.
