ABUJA — Accord Party chieftain and former presidential candidate, Dr. Gbenga Olawepo-Hashim, has pledged to restore the naira to between ₦500 and ₦525 against the United States dollar if elected president in 2027, while blaming the current administration for worsening economic hardship in Nigeria.
Hashim made the promise on Thursday at a political gathering in Dawaki, Abuja, where supporters assembled to reaffirm support for his presidential ambition and hear details of his economic agenda.
He said his target exchange rate would be a central pillar of his economic plan, insisting that the current administration has failed to stabilise the economy.
