The presidential candidate of the Accord Party in the 2027 general elections, Gbenga Olawepo Hashim, has disclosed that opposition leaders are working towards greater unity ahead of the elections, with the objective of defeating the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Olawepo Hashim disclosed this on Thursday in a post on his official Facebook page after a meeting with the presidential candidate of the Allied Peoples’ Movement (APM) and Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde.
According to him, the meeting was part of ongoing efforts to build cooperation among opposition political leaders ahead of the 2027 elections.
“Yesterday I met with my brother and Presidential Candidate of APM, Governor Seyi Makinde, Governor of Oyo State,” he wrote.
He said both leaders agreed on the need for unity, not only to achieve what he described as peaceful political change, but also to promote stability and national cohesion after the 2027 elections.
“We are working hard to defeat the Government of misery and hardship that the APC Government has become,” Olawepo said.
He further disclosed that the discussions included the possibility of establishing a Government of National Unity after the elections, saying such an arrangement would bring together what he described as “the best of the most patriotic hands” to address divisions in the country.
“We both agreed on Unity not just to achieve peaceful change but a stable and united Nigeria through the formation of a post-election Government of National Unity,” he said.
According to the Accord candidate, the proposed post-APC administration would require broad participation from Nigerians across political divides to rebuild national unity.
“A post APC-led Nigeria requires the participation of the best of the most patriotic hands to bring our Nation together after twelve years of the most virulent division in our history,” he added.
“The journey starts NOW with clear understanding amongst leaders!”, Olawepo concluded.
The meeting comes amid growing realignments among opposition political parties and presidential contenders ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Makinde, who is seeking the presidency on the platform of the APM, has been advocating his “Reset Nigeria” agenda, while opposition parties have continued to explore possible areas of cooperation ahead of the elections.
