Imasuen explained that with only eight LP senators in the Senate, their refusal to accept the luxury SUVs would not have influenced the majority's decision to proceed with the vehicle purchase, despite the criticism it received from various Nigerians. He emphasized that if the matter were brought to a vote in the Senate, LP senators would definitely vote against it.

The senator defended his colleagues' stance on the controversial vehicle purchase, highlighting that as a minority party in the Senate, LP members could voice their concerns but might not have the influence to alter the majority's decisions.

Imasuen also addressed rumors about his purported defection to the All Progressive Congress (APC), attributing them to the opposition party's attempts to create confusion within the LP.

He stated, "I want to clarify that I have neither received an SUV vehicle nor been offered one. In a democracy, the saying goes that the majority will have their way, and the minority will have their say. We can only express our beliefs in Parliament, but as we are only eight senators among 109, our influence is limited. It's unfair to single out Labour Party senators, as if we are the initiators of this practice. Our investigations suggest that such vehicle acquisitions occur every four years, and the Labour Party is not the primary proponent of this practice."
