A political earthquake is rumbling in the South West as former Presidential aspirant, Gbenga Olawepo-Hashim, through his fast rising platform, the Gbenga Hashim Solidarity Movement (GHSM), launched a blistering push against President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration.
In a press statement made available to Just Event Online TV on Saturday
At a massive gathering in Osogbo, Osun State Capital, leaders from across the 31 Local Government Areas, party executives, community voices, and a surge of restless youths declared that the era of APC dominance is coming to an end in Nigeria and that the man to lead Nigeria’s rescue is Gbenga Hashim.
Represented by his Chief of Staff, Mr. Kamaldeen Adebayo, Hashim did not mince words, “This heartless government has bled the people enough. Gbenga Hashim’s mission is to restore dignity, justice, and accountability to governance. Nigeria’s democracy cannot breathe under corruption and mediocrity. It is time to take back our country,” Adebayo thundered, to roaring applause.
The National Coordinator of GHSM, Abdulrazaq Hamzat, struck an even sharper tone, likening Hashim to a Moses for Nigeria’s troubled times.
“Nigerians have been pushed to the wall. Hunger has become a national policy, insecurity a daily horror, and hopelessness a state religion. But Gbenga Hashim is ready to lead the crusade out of this wilderness. He is free from corruption, full of ideas, tested in global best practices, and bold enough to crush APC’s state capture,”Hamzat declared.
The South West Coordinator, Alhaji Abass Olaniyi, placed the blame squarely on the Tinubu government.
“This administration has failed to deliver. It has reduced governance to the service of a few privileged interests, while the people wallow in poverty. From Osun, this movement will spread like wildfire across the South West. The people are hungry for integrity, principle and vision, and Gbenga Hashim is the answer,” Olaniyi affirmed.
The GHSM, already gaining traction in Lagos, Oyo, Ekiti, and Ondo, welcomed the PDP’s decision to throw open its 2027 presidential ticket, insisting that Hashim now has a straight road to Aso Rock by the Grace of God.
The Osun State Coordinator, Hon. Tajudeen Hassan, issued marching orders to ward and local government coordinators.
“Take the gospel of Gbenga Hashim to every street, every household, every corner of Osun. Nobody must be left behind. This is the people’s movement, and 2027 is our date with destiny.”
Analysts warn that if the momentum is sustained, the South West, long the stronghold of APC, could become the epicenter of Tinubu’s downfall**. With inflation crushing households, unemployment rising, and insecurity spreading, the Osun launch is already seen as the first organized revolt against Tinubu’s grip on the region.
One of the speakers at the event captured the sentiment more appropriately, “the downfall of Tinubu’s government begins in the South West. Osun has fired the first shot, and nothing can stop the storm that is coming.”
