Ahead of the 2027 presidential election, no fewer than four support groups backing the presidential aspiration of Dr. Gbenga Hashim have converged in Kano, pledging to intensify grassroots mobilisation to ensure the realisation of his ambition.

The groups, which met separately before a joint convergence, resolved to strengthen their structures and strategies, declaring that they would no longer support politicians who use followers merely as stepping stones to power and abandon them afterward.

They expressed firm commitment to seeing Dr. Hashim emerge as President in 2027, insisting that his leadership would place Nigeria on the path of development, peace, and progress.

The groups are the Gbenga Hashim Solidarity Movement, led by Hajiya A’isha Mustapha; the Gbenga Hashim Group (Party Structure), led by Miko Isyaku; the Gbenga Hashim Support Group, led by Khalifa Muhammad; and the Gbenga Hashim Vanguard.

During the meetings, the groups passed votes of confidence on Dr. Hashim and urged members to return to the grassroots to mobilise widespread support for his presidential bid.

Addressing supporters, the National Coordinator of the Gbenga Hashim Solidarity Movement, Abdulrazaq Hamza, appreciated those backing Dr. Hashim, describing him as a well-prepared and capable leader.

“We should continue to mobilise support for Dr. Gbenga Hashim. He has advised and assisted governments of many countries to achieve economic growth and development. He will provide the leadership Nigerians are yearning for if he becomes president in 2027,” Hamza said.

Similarly, the North-West Coordinator of the Gbenga Hashim Vanguard, Aminu Bala, emphasised inclusiveness, urging support groups to welcome individuals across party lines to broaden the aspirant’s support base. He highlighted Kano’s strategic political importance, noting that its support could influence other states in the region.

Chief of Staff to Dr. Hashim, Mr. Kamaldeen Sani Adebayo, said the aspirant’s track record as a global businessman with enterprises in Nigeria and several other countries qualifies him for the nation’s highest office. He conveyed Dr. Hashim’s goodwill message to the groups and assured them of continued engagement and support.

In her remarks, the Kano State Coordinator of the Gbenga Hashim Solidarity Movement, Hajiya A’isha Mustapha, charged coordinators across the state’s local government areas to intensify mobilisation efforts to ensure victory in 2027.

The convergence also featured goodwill messages from leaders of the various support groups, all reaffirming their resolve to work collectively towards the success of Dr. Hashim’s presidential ambition.
