Multiple party insiders, speaking on condition of anonymity, confirmed that Iyamu's campaign has seen increased momentum in recent days. These sources indicated that behind-the-scenes consultations are underway, though no official endorsement has been issued.
Iyamu, a medical doctor and former chairman of the Edo State chapter of the Association of Medical Laboratory Scientists of Nigeria, is positioning himself as a unifying candidate. He has not issued a formal statement on the reported national-level backing but has acknowledged growing confidence in his candidacy. Other aspirants in the race have yet to respond publicly to the latest developments.
The APC's screening and primary election process for the Oredo constituency remains ongoing, with the party yet to announce a timeline for candidate selection. The seat is currently held by a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
