2027: Olawepo-Hashim slams opposition figures in APC campaign council as ‘indiscipline, rascality’
Accord Party presidential candidate Gbenga Olawepo-Hashim has criticized the inclusion of opposition governors in the APC's 2027 campaign council. He labeled the move as 'indiscipline and rascality,' arguing it does not reflect the true political will of the electorate.
Why it matters
The statement highlights ongoing political tensions and debates over party loyalty and voter independence in Nigeria ahead of the 2027 elections.
The presidential candidate of the Accord Party, Gbenga Olawepo-Hashim, has described the inclusion of opposition figures in the All Progressives Congress presidential campaign council as “indiscipline and rascality”.
Olawepo-Hashim made the remarks on Tuesday during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today , where he reacted to the inclusion of opposition figures like Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke and Anambra State Governor Charles Soludo in the APC campaign council ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Asked whether the move reflected political maturity or political survival, the Accord Party candidate dismissed both interpretations, describing it instead as a lack of discipline.
“No, this is simply indiscipline and rascality,” he said.
Olawepo-Hashim also argued that Adeleke’s participation in the APC campaign council would not automatically translate into support for President Bola Tinubu among voters in Osun State.
