A group of former All Progressives Congress (APC) members and stakeholders from Kano, Jigawa, and Katsina states have announced their support for Dr. Gbenga Olawepo-Hashim, the presidential candidate of the Accord party, in the upcoming 2027 general elections. The group, previously instrumental in securing victory for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in a prior election, cited undisclosed reasons for the change in allegiance. This move represents a significant shift in political alignment within the northern states. The former APC supporters are now actively campaigning for Olawepo-Hashim, hoping to position him as a viable alternative in the next presidential race. This development could potentially reshape the political landscape and introduce new dynamics into the 2027 election cycle. The group’s decision was publicly declared, signaling a formal endorsement of the Accord party candidate. Further details regarding the motivations behind this shift are expected to emerge as the election draws nearer.
