ABUJA – Former Edo State House of Assembly candidate, Eghosa Asemota Agbonifo, has congratulated Dr. Paddy Emmanuel Iyamu on clinching the All Progressives Congress, APC, ticket for Oredo Federal Constituency ahead of the 2027 general elections, describing the outcome as a reflection of the people’s confidence in his long-standing political commitment.

Agbonifo said Iyamu’s victory in the APC primary reflected the confidence many party supporters and residents had reposed in him over the years.

He added that the result has further strengthened the party’s position in Oredo ahead of the general election.

In a statement on Saturday, Agbonifo said Iyamu’s emergence did not come as a surprise, insisting that the APC flag bearer had built enduring support across the constituency through years of political and community engagement.

He said, “I had no doubt that the people of Oredo Federal Constituency would reward Iyamu.

“This victory shows that the people appreciate his consistency, loyalty and dedication to their well-being over the years.”

Agbonifo said the outcome of the primary reflected the preference of voters for a candidate familiar with the needs and expectations of the constituency.

He said Iyamu’s track record and relationship with residents placed him in a strong position to represent Oredo Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives in 2027.

“The choice of Dr. Iyamu aligns perfectly with the desires of the Oredo people,” he stated.

Agbonifo added that Iyamu’s years of political work and engagement had finally paid off, noting that the APC now has a solid platform to build on ahead of the 2027 polls.

He called on party members and supporters across the constituency to unite behind Iyamu and work towards victory for the APC in the general election.
