Gbenga Hashim Joins Accord Party, Eyes 2027 Presidency

Gbenga Hashim has formally announced his departure from the People's Democratic Party (PDP) to join the Accord Party, declaring his ambition to contest in the 2027 presidential elections. Hashim confirmed his membership in the Accord Party and stated that he has begun extensive grassroots mobilization across the country, aiming to gather support for his presidential bid.

He has reportedly mobilized over a million supporters as part of his efforts to build a formidable political movement ahead of the 2027 general elections. In response to comments suggesting that the Accord Party would not field a presidential candidate, Hashim described such remarks as overreach, asserting that no individual has the authority to determine who becomes Nigeria's next president.

He emphasized that political power ultimately belongs to the Nigerian electorate and cautioned against attempts to predetermine electoral outcomes. Hashim reaffirmed his commitment to providing a credible alternative for Nigerians, focusing on national unity, economic revival, and inclusive development as he prepares for the upcoming elections.
