STRONG indications emerged on Wednesday that the Labour Party (LP) in Edo State would soon be hit by another defection as its member representing Edo South Senatorial District in the Senate, Senator Neda Imasuen, may soon defect to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) as of the APC are believed to be mounting pressure on the Chairman, Senate Committee and Public Petitions, Ethics and Privileges to leave the LP.

The lawmaker recently said that the Supreme Court decision on the crisis in the LP may have come too late as much damage has been done to the party that has led to many defections.

Imasuen enjoys good relationship with notable leaders of the APC in the state and he has been severally in public functions with some of them in addition to the fact that he was a senior legislative to his predecessor in office, Sen. Matthew Uroghide now in the APC and he was the Director General APC Campaign Council ahead of the September 21st governorship election in the state.

Giving credence to the speculation and his imminent defection, it was gathered that the Special Adviser to Governor Monday Okpebholo on Political Mobilisation and Engagement, Hon Eugene Utubor, Tuesday night visited the LP Senator in a bid to convince him to Okpebholo in his developmental agenda.

It was reliably gathered that the meeting, which lasted for several hours, centred on discussions on having the LP National Assembly member the party. A source privy to the meeting described it as fruitful.

Imasuen was said to have expressed gratitude for the visit and commended the efforts of Governor Monday Okpebholo in driving development in the state.

He was quoted as saying, “The Governor has done remarkably well in such a short time.

“It is crucial that we come together to ensure the success of his vision for our people. Every well-meaning Edo citizen is encouraged to rally around the Governor as he works diligently for our collective progress.”

2. Those wanting to get into the ruling Party

Exception

Mavericks like sowore., and people in parties like apga and nrm.

Just another pretender who rode the Obidient wave. These people are such great judges of character.

Very Good, after all, headless mob bare their fangs at you forgetting you're a Senator of LP. Let the headless mob, in return, attract Natasha, their new heroine, to the Labour Party.
Welcome home, brother.

IPOBidients laboured in vain

The worse political prostitute in the country is someone who defected from APGA to PDP to LP in less than 5 years. Very rapidly! Yet he claims he's not desperate. Some people can be mumu sha

This mass Exodus to the APC will take Nigeria to a one party system.
APC have worked so hard to hijacked and destroy LP using Julius Abure
While they destroyed PDP using Wike.
Soon there will be no more opposition in our democracy.
Nigeria is finished.

Nigerians do not follow all this politicians that are defecting to the ruling party..they are just doing it for their selfish interest and not for your own interest and well bring

Before 2027, 80% of the South-South politicians will be in APC.

South-South region will produce the next Southern president with the way they are moving.

Is Nigeria not gradually sliding into a unitary party system

APC implosion on the cards

Politics of common sense vs politics of wailing wailers .. Nigerian politics sha

I pity the Nigerian youths that are killing themselves for these politicians. They are the same thing. Whether PDP, APC LP, APGA. Du ka daya.

APC is steadily becoming the party of choice for many.

The leadership of the party should continue to build on this momentum.
