…Disputes Olawepo-Hashim’s nomination

By Luminous Jannamike

ABUJA — A fresh crisis has hit the Accord Party after its Nasarawa State chapter rejected the presidential affirmation primary that produced Dr. Gbenga Olawepo-Hashim as the party’s candidate, describing vote figures attributed to the state as false and challenging the legitimacy of the exercise.

The dispute centres on a claim that Nasarawa State delivered 47,309 affirmative votes for Olawepo-Hashim.
