Olawepo-Hashim, who is also Co-Chairman of the Movement for Democratic Renewal (MDR), made the allegation in a statement he personally issued over the weekend.
The presidential candidate of the Accord Party, Dr Gbenga Olawepo-Hashim, has accused President Bola Ahmed Tinubu of waging “a war against the people” of Osun State ahead of the August 15, 2026 governorship election.
Olawepo-Hashim, who is also Co-Chairman of the Movement for Democratic Renewal (MDR), made the allegation in a statement he personally issued over the weekend.
He alleged that recent actions by the Federal Government had crossed the line from political contestation into what he described as “punitive state oppression.”
According to him, the withholding of Osun State’s local government allocations, freezing of state government accounts and alleged provision of security protection for APC supporters involved in attacks on opposition members were part of a coordinated attempt to undermine democracy and punish the people of the state for political reasons.
