SDP Halts Campaign for a Week After NAF Aircraft Crash
The Adebayo-Bugaje Presidential Campaign of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) announced the suspension of all national and state campaign activities for one week in response to the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) aircraft crash in Igbokoda, Ondo State, which resulted in the deaths of 25 individuals. The decision, made on Wednesday, aims to honor the victims and show solidarity with the Nigerian Air Force and the Armed Forces of Nigeria.
The crash involved an NAF ATR-42 aircraft that was on a routine mission from Benin City to Lagos when it went down near the Naval Base in Igbokoda, with 20 passengers and five crew members on board, all of whom perished. During the suspension, all campaign rallies, town hall meetings, stakeholder engagements, and media appearances are deferred.
Prince Adewole Adebayo and Professor Usman Bugaje extended their condolences to the Chief of the Air Staff and the families of the deceased, advocating for improved welfare protections for military personnel and a thorough investigation into the crash.
