Speaking through his Special Adviser on Media and Communication Strategy, Crusoe Osagie, Obaseki sympathised with Buhari over the endorsement.
A statement by Osagie said Buhari only endorsed Ize-Iyamu in the interest of APC.
The statement reads: “President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday was confronted with a dilemma of no mean proportion, to raise the hand of Osagie Ize-Iyamu, candidate of the APC in the September 19 gubernatorial election taking place in Edo State.
“The President was constrained to carry out the action, which indeed was a dilemma.We sympathise with the President, who reluctantly handed the APC candidate, the party’s flag and unveiled him behind closed doors.”
Buhari had endorsed Ize-Iyamu during a meeting some leaders of the APC at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
At the meeting, the president had appealed to the party leaders to work towards Ize-Iyamu’s victory during the elections.
Obaseki and Ize-Iyamu are the leading contenders in the September 19 governorship election in the state.

Tinubu and Oshiomhole should stop treating sitting governors like puppets on drawstrings. People are saying they are all corrupt.My question is,do we sit back and allow them a free ride? If Edos want to reelect a "corrupt" sitting governor,then let them do so! Must they go the way of Ekiti and Lagos states?
