Over the past decade, Iyere has helped many past and present Governors, Senators and Federal House Members to become elected, specifically under the platforms of the APC, PDP and LP. He was a key pillar, a foremost champion and one of the biggest heroes of the revolutionary pro-Obi 2023 Democratic Movement, otherwise known as "Obidient Movement".

"Thank God for the primary conducted today by Accord Party, which produced me as the first Candidate for the 2024 Edo Guber Poll. My Running Mate or Deputy Candidate is Bright Enabulele and together we shall pull the sufficient votes required for our desired victory. We are forming a coalition of not fewer than 6 political parties who will provide the formidable political platform needed to dislodge the APC and PDP in Edo State and rescue the indigenes and other inhabitants of Edo State from the misery of hunger, deprivation, unemployment and extreme poverty. Edo State is politically and economically broken by its failed past and present political leaders. 


The time to fix Edo State is now or never, hence we have adopted FIX-EDO-2024 PROJECT as our campaign theme”, Iyere said.

“Within the next few days, we shall officially launch our action plan and attach timelines for the implementation of our electioneering campaign programs and activities whose target is to drive grassroots efforts aimed towards recruiting and mobilizing One Million Voters for the actualization of our desired victory in the 2024 Edo guber poll. We have planned to publicly unveil our action plan through a world press conference scheduled to hold within the next few days. The political redemption of Nigeria will begin in Edo State and this is the reason we have chosen to run for the guber seat of Edo State. APC and PDP have done enough damage to our economy, our people, our state and our nation, the time for our political liberation is now or never”, Iyere affirmed.

Iyere is Nigeria’s frontline humanitarian activist and a high-profile social entrepreneur, philanthropist, businessman, grant expert, citizen rights advocate, social welfare crusader and development specialist.
