The Office of Neda Imasuen has firmly dismissed circulating claims that the lawmaker is unwilling to seek re-election, describing the reports as “baseless, misleading and orchestrated by mischief makers.”
In a strongly worded disclaimer, the Senator’s office said the rumour suggesting he has no intention of returning to the Senate for a second term is “a deliberate attempt to misinform the public and distract from ongoing progress.”
The statement made it clear that Imasuen remains fully committed to seeking another mandate to represent Edo South Senatorial District, stressing that his decision is driven by the need for continuity and enhanced service delivery, not personal ambition.
“Let it be stated clearly and unequivocally: Senator Neda Imasuen is fully committed to returning to the Senate,” the statement read.
The lawmaker’s media office highlighted his first-term achievements, noting that he has demonstrated capacity, courage and commitment through legislative contributions, national engagement and constituency representation.
Further details obtained by this online newspaper indicate that the Senator’s camp believes a second term will significantly strengthen his influence, positioning him as a ranking lawmaker capable of attracting more federal projects and shaping people-centred policies.
According to the statement, legislative effectiveness is built over time, and Imasuen has now acquired the experience, networks and institutional knowledge required to navigate the National Assembly more strategically.
Political analysts note that ranking lawmakers typically wield greater authority in committee assignments, policy negotiations and resource allocation — an advantage the Senator’s team argues Edo South cannot afford to forfeit.
The statement urged constituents to disregard the rumour, describing it as the handiwork of those opposed to progress and focused leadership.
“Senator Neda Imasuen is not stepping back. He is stepping forward — stronger, wiser and more determined than ever,” the statement added, emphasising that the groundwork has been laid and the next phase is consolidation and expansion.
The Senator reiterated his commitment to attracting more development, deepening legislative impact and ensuring stronger federal presence across Edo South.
“Edo South deserves continuity,” the statement concluded.
