Imasuagbon, a founding member and a major financier of the then AC , which is today APC, joined the Edo PDP where he ran for the governorship primary in 2012, but dumped the party earlier this year to rejoin the APC.

The politician, popularly known as Rice Man, due to his annual rice sharing ritual to the poor in the state, was received formally into the APC by the leader of the party in the area and brother to the late First Lady of Edo State,   Mr Victor Eboigbe, and the Chairman of the APC in the council, Chris Aghughu.

Speaking at the occasion, Eboigbe, who noted that Imasuagbon had since joined the party but that the occasion was just to celebrate him, expressed joy that his coming will add value to the APC in Edo Central and the state as a whole.

Shortly after receiving him in his ward, the party leaders proceeded to the council headquarters Ubiaja, where Imasuagbon was welcomed by about eight members of the state House of Assembly including the Speaker, Victor Edoror.

Imasuagbon expressed gratitude to elders and people of Ewohimi for the warm reception they gave to him and appealed to the people of Esan to continue to support the administration of Governor Oshiomhole.
