Tompolo Halts Tinubu Campaign After Ondo Military Crash

High Chief Government Ekpemupolo, popularly known as Tompolo, has ordered the suspension of all 2027 presidential election campaign activities by the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu Door-to-Door Movement for one week. This decision comes after a tragic crash of a Nigerian Air Force ATR 42 military aircraft (NAF 931) near a naval facility in the Igbokoda axis of Ilaje Local Government Area, Ondo State, which resulted in the deaths of military personnel and passengers.

Sunday Asuku, the National Coordinator of the movement, expressed profound shock and sorrow over the incident, describing it as a significant loss to the Armed Forces and the nation. The movement extended condolences to President Bola Tinubu, who has declared a three-day national mourning period, and to the families of the deceased.

The statement emphasized the bravery of the military personnel and called for a thorough investigation into the crash's cause. The suspension halts the group's campaign mobilization efforts, which had included grassroots outreach and vehicle distributions across various states.
