Imo PDP suspends campaigns following military aircraft crash

The Imo State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has suspended all political campaigns and party activities for three days. This decision serves as a mark of respect for soldiers and crew members who died in a recent military aircraft crash in Ondo State.

In a statement issued by State Publicity Secretary Lancelot Obiaku, the party directed all its organs, including ward, local government area, and senatorial district chapters, as well as its candidates, to halt activities immediately. The suspension is intended to show solidarity with the grieving families of the deceased officers.

The PDP expressed profound sadness over the loss, describing the victims as brave individuals who devoted their lives to the service and protection of Nigeria. The party also extended condolences to the Nigerian Army and the entire Armed Forces of Nigeria.
