PDP Stakeholders Reject Zoning, Back Gbenga Hashim as 2027 Candidate

PDP stakeholders in Osun and Lagos states have rejected the zoning arrangement and instead adopted Gbenga Hashim as their preferred candidate for the 2027 elections. The stakeholders staged rallies to show support for Hashim, emphasizing the need for competence and unity over traditional zoning practices.

They believe that Nigeria requires leaders like Hashim to navigate the country's challenges effectively. The rejection of zoning signifies a shift towards prioritizing leadership qualities over regional considerations within the Peoples Democratic Party, reflecting a broader trend towards merit-based candidate selection in Nigerian politics.
