The Presidential Campaign Council of the Allied People’s Movement (APM) said the number of crashes involving military aircraft in Nigeria under President Bola Tinubu’s administration is a serious national issue that questioned equipment as well as the welfare of the military and other security agencies.
Director of Strategic Communications of the Makinde-Daura Presidential Campaign Organisation (MDPCO), Richard Ihediwa, in a statement, recalled that in August 2023, a Nigeria Airforce helicopter crashed in Shiroro, Niger State during a casualty evacuation mission of wounded troops.
The council described the tragic death of 32 Nigerians in the ATR-42 military aircraft crash near Igbokoda Naval base in Ondo State on Monday, which claimed the lives of military personnel and some civilians, as yet another depressing commentary on the spate of calamities that continue to befall the country and particularly the military, under the Tinubu administration.
MDPCO stated that given the resources available, the Nigerian military ought to be among the best equipped and remunerated across the world.
The council, however, praised the patriotism, professionalism, gallantry and sacrifice of the Nigerian military and other men and women in uniform who continue to give their lives for the security of the nation despite the challenges they face under the incompetent APC administration.
It assured Nigerians that under a Makinde-Daura RESET Nigeria presidency, equipping, training and well-being of the military and other security agencies will be a top priority of government.
It called on Nigerians “to remain unwavering in their determination to use their votes to end the misrule of the Tinubu administration by voting in Engr. Seyi Makinde on the platform of the Allied Peoples Movement (APM) to RESET Nigeria to a nation that works for the good of all.”
