  "account": "Dr. Gbenga Olawepo-Hashim, the presidential candidate of the Accord Party, is aiming to secure at least six million votes in Nigeria's North-West region ahead of the 2027 general election, according to the Hashim Progressive Movement (HPM). Hon. Aminu Aminu, the HPM coordinator and Accord's senatorial candidate for Jigawa Central, revealed the ambitious target while announcing the movement's mobilization strategy. The HPM is targeting seven states in the North-West region: Jigawa, Kano, Kaduna, Katsina, Kebbi, Sokoto, and Zamfara. Aminu emphasized the campaign's objective to demonstrate the candidate's connection with the region and his appeal as a presidential contender with a national vision for all Nigerians. The HPM plans to employ ward-by-ward and door-to-door engagement tactics, with youth and women mobilizers collaborating with Accord's legislative candidates to bolster the presidential campaign. The movement intends to synchronize its presidential mobilization efforts with Accord's senatorial and House of Representatives candidates to enhance coordination and broaden grassroots involvement throughout the region. Aminu asserted that the six-million-vote goal reflects HPM's aim to address voters' concerns regarding insecurity and economic hardship, themes that Dr. Hashim has consistently addressed in his policy proposals.",
