The Gbenga Hashim Solidarity Movement (GHSM) has rejected the reported endorsement of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for the 2027 presidential election by some Accord Party officials at the Osun State Government House, describing the gathering as unconstitutional and lacking political significance.
In a statement issued on Monday by its National Coordinator, the group said the meeting could not override the decision of Accord Party members, insisting that Dr. Gbenga Hashim remains the party’s presidential candidate.
GHSM said Hashim emerged as the Accord Party’s presidential candidate on May 30, 2026, through a nationwide direct primary conducted in line with the Electoral Act and guidelines of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
“No meeting convened outside the constitutional structures of the Accord Party can extinguish the mandate freely given to Dr. Hashim,” the group stated.
It maintained that the party’s presidential direction could only be determined through its established structures and not through political meetings or endorsements.
