Gbenga Olawepo-Hashim has officially declared his intention to run for the President of Nigeria under the Accord Party platform, signalling his entry into the growing 2027 presidential race.
The former presidential candidate revealed his aspiration after a series of political consultations with party stakeholders and national figures, where he was reportedly encouraged to step forward as part of a broader opposition restructuring.
Speaking during the declaration, Olawepo-Hashim said: “Nigeria needs urgent rebuilding anchored on unity, economic recovery, and strong institutions. We cannot continue business as usual if we truly want a new direction for our country”.
He added that his ambition is not personal but driven by what he described as the “urgent need to reset leadership and restore confidence in governance.”
