ADC Calls for Audit of Defense Spending After Air Crash
The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has demanded an audit of defense spending and the implementation of funds allocated for military aircraft maintenance following a Nigerian Air Force (NAF) aircraft crash in Igbokoda, Ondo State. In a statement issued by ADC National Publicity Secretary Bolaji Abdullahi, the party described the crash as tragic and emphasized the need for a thorough investigation into its cause and the maintenance of military equipment.
Abdullahi pointed out that as of December 2025, only N4.5 billion had been released for the maintenance of NAF aircraft, which is about 13.98 percent of the N34.71 billion allocated. In contrast, the Presidential Air Fleet received N20.74 billion for maintenance, with N20.27 billion, or 97.76 percent, released.
The ADC stressed that while the safety of the President is crucial, the welfare of military personnel also requires attention. The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) also expressed condolences and called for a transparent investigation into the crash.
