Dr. Paddy Iyamu’s emergence as the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for Oredo Federal Constituency in Saturday’s primary election has been widely hailed by party leaders and supporters as a clear demonstration of his political capacity, grassroots acceptability and longstanding commitment to the growth of the party in Edo State.
Iyamu, in what many political observers described as a major upset, defeated the incumbent lawmaker, Hon. Esosa Iyawe, in a resounding landslide victory after polling 7,088 votes to clinch the party’s ticket ahead of the 2027 general election.
Party faithful and stakeholders across the constituency said the outcome of the primary reflected the confidence reposed in Iyamu by members of the APC and the people of Oredo Federal Constituency, insisting that his victory was earned through years of loyalty, service and consistency within the party.
A prominent APC stakeholder, Osaro Idehen, described the victory as a reward for credibility and dedication to the people.
“This victory is a clear testament to Dr. Paddy Iyamu’s credibility, capacity and the trust the people of Oredo Federal Constituency have in his leadership. It reflects years of service, consistency and unwavering commitment to the progress and welfare of our people,” he said.
