The Gbenga Olawepo-Hashim Solidarity Movement, Lagos State Chapter, has congratulated Dr Gbenga Olawepo-Hashim on emerging as the Accord’s presidential candidate for the 2027 general election.
The group also pledged to mobilize voters across Lagos State and other parts of the country to support his presidential bid.
In a statement issued on Monday in Lagos, the movement’s General Secretary and Director of Organization, Mr Oluseyi Daniel, praised the party’s primary process.
“We warmly congratulate party leaders, delegates and members of Accord on the emergence of Dr Gbenga Olawepo-Hashim as the party’s presidential candidate.
“We commend the leadership of Accord for conducting a transparent and democratic process that produced a credible, experienced and visionary candidate,” he said.
Daniel said Olawepo-Hashim possessed the qualities needed to provide leadership at a critical period in Nigeria’s history.
He described the candidate’s emergence as recognition of his contributions to national unity, democratic governance and economic development.
“His track record as a statesman, entrepreneur and advocate of national progress continues to inspire millions of Nigerians seeking a better future,” he said.
Daniel reaffirmed the movement’s commitment to Olawepo-Hashim’s campaign ahead of the 2027 election.
“We are ready to mobilize voters across Lagos State and beyond to ensure his victory at the polls.
“We are confident that his candidacy offers Nigerians a credible alternative and a platform for national renewal,” he said.
Daniel said Accord provided a stable and inclusive platform through which Olawepo-Hashim could pursue his vision for a prosperous and united Nigeria.
He also urged the Independent National Electoral Commission, security agencies and other stakeholders to remain impartial during the electoral process.
“The credibility of the 2027 general elections will depend largely on the neutrality of institutions entrusted with safeguarding the electoral process.
“Nigeria’s democracy can only flourish when all actors operate within the bounds of the law and uphold fairness, transparency and justice,” he said.
Daniel assured Nigerians that the movement would pursue a peaceful, issue-based and people-centred campaign.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that Accord recently affirmed Olawepo-Hashim as its presidential candidate following affirmation primaries conducted across several states.
Although he was the sole aspirant, the party held the exercise to enable members formally endorse his candidature through a democratic affirmation process. (NAN)
