The consensus candidature of Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu of the APC may have hit a brick wall as chairmen of the party in Edo state said he did not meet the conditions for a waiver granted to him by some members of the National Working Committee (NWC).

The chairmen from the 18 local government areas of the state said that the decision to present Ize-Iyamu as the consensus candidate would not stand as he was not a member of the party.
