The Peoples Democratic Party Presidential Campaign Organization (PPCO) grieves over the tragic crash of the Nigeria Air Force helicopter, resulting in the death of five of our gallant soldiers fighting insurgency in the North East.

The party notes that these patriotic Nigerians risked and ultimately laid down their lives for our nation, while providing close air support to troops of 145 Battalion, Damasak in Borno state who have continued to display unmatched courage in the fight against insurgents.
