The group made the assertion in a statement issued by its National Coordinator, Abdulrazaq Hamzat, amid ongoing controversy over Hashim’s emergence as the party’s flagbearer.

The Gbenga Hashim Solidarity Movement has alleged external interference in the Accord Party’s presidential nomination process and insisted that Dr. Gbenga Olawepo-Hashim remains the party’s duly elected presidential candidate for the 2027 general elections.

The group made the assertion in a statement issued by its National Coordinator, Abdulrazaq Hamzat, amid ongoing controversy over Hashim’s emergence as the party’s flagbearer.

According to the movement, recent statements by some members of the Accord Party leadership disputing Hashim’s nomination were "unfounded and contrary to documented facts and democratic procedures already concluded within the party."

The group maintained that Hashim emerged through a legitimate internal process involving party members across the country.
