2027: We’ll Deliver Over 3 Million Votes For Olawepo-Hashim In South-West — Movement
The South-West Coordinator of the Gbenga Hashim Solidarity Movement (GHSM), Alhaji Abass Olaniyi, has declared that the movement is targeting more than three million votes for the Accord Party’s presidential candidate,…
Gbenga Olawepo-Hashim, a businessman and longtime political figure, is positioning himself as the Accord Party's presidential candidate ahead of the 2027 general election, with regional support groups emerging to mobilise votes on his behalf in different parts of the country. The Accord Party, a smaller platform relative to Nigeria's dominant parties, has historically struggled to translate structure into vote numbers in national elections, making the scale of these vote-delivery pledges notable.
Coverage across outlets is consistent in reporting the specific figures cited by different regional groups — the Gbenga Hashim Solidarity Movement's pledge of over three million votes in the South-West and the Hashim Progressive Movement's target of six million in the North-West — but none of the reports detail how these movements intend to achieve such numbers, their membership size, funding, or ground structure. It remains unclear how these projections align with the Accord Party's actual electoral history or verified voter data in either region.
