Ize-Iyamu is a zonal pastor in the church in the state.

It was also learnt that the regional pastor of the church in Edo State, Pastor James Dagunduro has given instructions to parish pastors to canvass for Ize-Iyamu in their parishes.

According to Nigerian Nation, two campaign jingles of Ize-Iyamu were repeatedly played in the teenage Church of Trinity Sanctuary on Sunday, August 21 and no other message was preached to the teenagers.
