The Gbenga Hashim Solidarity Movement has declared that the South-West region of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) would be at the forefront of efforts to unseat President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 general elections.
Alhaji Abass Olaniyi, South-West Coordinator of the movement, in a statement yesterday, expressed support for the recent position of PDP leaders in the region, who distanced themselves from the FCT minister, Nyesom Wike’s endorsement of President Tinubu.
“The South West PDP has shown clarity, courage and commitment to the ideals of true opposition. This region will lead the charge to rescue Nigeria’s democracy and defeat President Tinubu in 2027, against the wish and personal interest of a select few,” Olaniyi said.

He emphasised that Wike’s open support for Tinubu does not represent the position of the PDP, describing it as a personal choice that stands in contradiction to the party’s mission and values.
Reacting earlier, PDP South-West spokesperson, Sanya Atofarati, had also slammed Wike’s actions. “Wike is not bigger than the PDP and cannot take unilateral decisions on its behalf. Leaders of the party in the South West are united in their resolve to ensure Tinubu does not secure a second term and that PDP regains power in 2027.”
Alhaji Olaniyi further asserted that the party must now return to its founding principles, with leaders like Gbenga Olawepo-Hashim symbolising the integrity and ideological clarity needed to chart a new course.
“To defeat Tinubu in 2027, PDP must offer what APC doesn’t have. That’s integrity. That’s the principle. And that’s Gbenga Hashim.”
Olaniyi added that attempts to hijack the PDP for selfish purposes had failed, and the tide is now turning in favour of a value-based political rebirth. “Those seeking to exploit the party’s internal challenges for personal gain have failed. Nigerians want something new, something honest. The PDP must be that alternative.”
Gbenga Hashim Solidarity Movement is a multiparty group with members from PDP, APC, Labor Party etc, all of whom are committed to not only rescuing Nigeria from ignorant, wicked and exploitative governance, but also enthroning visionary leadership with capacity to reposition the country to its foundational path.
As the countdown to 2027 begins, the Gbenga Hashim Solidarity Movement said it was mobilising across the South West and beyond to ensure the PDP emerges as a credible, united and principled force capable of rescuing Nigeria’s democracy.
