Olawepo-Hashim stated this during his continuation of “State of the Nation” consultation to prominent politicians in the North West region which was held on Wednesday, 14 August.

The former presidential candidate specifically said this during his visit to the leader in the Northern Progressive Group, Alhaji Sule Lamido, a former Foreign Affairs Minister and former Governor of Jigawa State.

Lamido, according to a statement by Olawepo-Hashim’s media team, “was a protégé of our leader, Alhaji Abubakar Rimi, the Former Governor of Old Kano state, who is now late.”
According to the former Presidential candidate “Alhaji Rimi and his friend, Chief Doushep Solomon Lar (Former Governor of Old Plateau state), provided leadership and inspiration for those of us in the

Northern Progressive Movement in the struggle to end Military rule.”
He added that “in that struggle, Alhaji Rimi and Alhaji Sule were held in custody just as yours truly was held in detention in 1989 under Solitary confinement.
