ABUJA — The Presidential candidate of the Accord Party, Dr. Gbenga Olawepo-Hashim, has warned that the forthcoming Osun State governorship election would expose what the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, and security agencies have in store for the 2027 general election, urging President Bola Tinubu to ensure a level playing field in the poll.
His warning came as he moved to rally a divided Accord Party in Osun State, accused Governor Ademola Adeleke of betraying the party, rejected calls for political retaliation and urged members and supporters to close ranks, shun anti-party activities and intensify grassroots mobilisation ahead of the election.
Hashim spoke after receiving the report of a seven-member committee of Accord Party stakeholders in Osun State, which consulted widely on recent political developments and briefed him on the state of the party.
As he reflected on the committee’s findings, he maintained that despite his grievances against Adeleke, he would not undermine the party’s electoral chances through retaliatory politics.
