As the Edo State All Progressives Congress primaries for the 2027 general elections approach swiftly, political stakeholders Oredo voters have drummed up strong support for the candidacy of House of Representatives member, , Hon Esosa Iyawe, as the preferred and deserving candidate to be the standard bearer of the APC in Oredo Federal Constituency

Hon Esosa Iyawe, a trained and certified engineer,r is the current House of Representatives member representing Oredo Federal Constituency at the National Assembly. He is square peg in a square hole, having done remarkably well in the first term, with sterling records that speak for themselves.
