Obaseki who is the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate in the Edo guber election was quoted in a statement signed by his Special Adviser on Media and Communication Strategy, Crusoe Osagie, as commiserating with the families of the victims of the crash and prayed that God grants them the fortitude to bear the loss of their loved ones.
“I received the news of the accident with shock and commiserate with the former governor of Edo State, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole and the candidate of the APC in the forthcoming governorship election, Osagie Ize-Iyamu over the very unfortunate incident involving their security aides and top chieftains of the party in the campaign team.
“While we pray for strength for the families of the deceased persons, we also pray for the quick recovery of those who were injured and are receiving treatment,” Obaseki said.
