Dr. Paddy Iyamu, the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate for Oredo Federal Constituency in the 2027 general election, pledged to sponsor legislation aimed at protecting vulnerable people and promoting good governance if elected to the House of Representatives. This commitment was made during a formal introduction of party candidates at the Edo State Council of the Nigeria Union of Journalists in Benin City, led by Oredo APC chairman Osamudiamen Osarenkhoe.

He cited his achievements as education commissioner, including the construction of 6.2 kilometers of internal roads at a state-owned polytechnic and the reconstruction of nearly 100 schools within one year.

Iyamu emphasized the importance of quality education and healthcare access, as well as initiatives to empower women and support youth development through partnerships and skill acquisition opportunities.
