The South West Gbenga Hashim Solidarity Movement has said a presidential aspirant of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Gbenga Olawepo-Hashim, had become more popular than President Bola Tinubu in Osun State.
Coordination of the movement, Alhaji Abass Olaniyi, in a statement, said Olawepo-Hashim had suddenly become so popular in Osun State that even President Tinubu cannot match his rising profile.
Although Tinubu served as governor of Lagos State, his ancestral home is Osun State.
Olaniyi said Olawepo-Hashim’s name had been on the lips of the people of the state.
He added that the joke now making the rounds is that the presidential aspirant “could easily win a governorship race in Osun, with mischief makers even inventing a fake hometown for him.”
Olaniyi added, “What began as a smear has gone viral and turned into free publicity. Dr. Hashim is the face of ideological politics in Nigeria. The PDP family in Osun stands firmly with him, and together with Governor Ademola Adeleke, he will help rescue Nigeria by 2027.
“The enemies of PDP, who polluted social media with fraudulent claims to sow confusion, have only achieved the opposite. Their lies have strengthened our unity and projected Dr. Hashim across the South West, raising his profile “to high heaven.”
He said thousands of Nigerians were searching online for Dr. Gbenga Hashim and discovering the impressive record of a man of courage, principle and vision.
“This is a clear sign that the hand of God is upon him. Nothing can stop destiny. What the detractors meant for evil has only amplified his message and positioned him as the credible alternative Nigeria has been waiting for.
“With the PDP united, and the people’s will behind him, Dr. Gbenga Olawepo-Hashim is divinely backed to become the next President of Nigeria in 2027,” the coordinator added.
