Dr. Gbenga Olawepo-Hashim, the presidential candidate of the Accord Party, and Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State have reached an agreement to form a Government of National Unity following Nigeria's 2027 presidential election. The two leaders discussed this decision after meeting in Ibadan, Oyo State. Olawepo-Hashim emphasized the importance of a peaceful political transition followed by a comprehensive government aimed at rebuilding the nation and restoring national unity.
He stated that the primary objective of their agreement is not merely to defeat the incumbent ruling party in the polls but to ensure the election produces a stable and united Nigeria. Olawepo-Hashim called for the involvement of patriotic and capable individuals from all political parties and backgrounds to bring the nation together after a period marked by significant division.
He noted that Nigeria faces numerous challenges and cannot afford a governance approach that is narrow and exclusive after the election. Additionally, the Makinde/Daura Presidential Campaign Organisation announced the postponement of its South South Zonal Town Hall meeting in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, scheduled for September 25, 2026.
The campaign expressed regret for any inconvenience caused by the postponement and promised to communicate a new date soon. However, the North Central Zonal Town Hall meeting, scheduled for September 28, 2026, in Lafia, Nasarawa State, will proceed as planned.
