Ondo crash: Tinubu movement suspends 2027 campaign

The President Bola Ahmed Tinubu Door-to-Door Movement has suspended its 2027 presidential election campaign activities for one week following a tragic aircraft crash. High Chief Government Ekpemupolo, known as Tompolo, conveyed condolences to President Bola Tinubu, the Nigerian Armed Forces, and the people of Ondo State over the loss of military personnel and passengers on board the Nigerian Air Force ATR 42 aircraft.

The movement expressed deep sorrow for the "painful and monumental loss to our Armed Forces and to the nation at large" and praised the fallen officers for their courage and commitment in serving the country. The suspension temporarily halted the movement's nationwide campaign mobilization, which had been actively supporting Tinubu's re-election bid.
