A People’s Democratic Party’s presidential apirant, Gbenga Olawepo-Hashim, in this interview talks about the security challenges facing the nation saying the government at the centre has not shown any commitment to address the problem. He also speaks about the recent Area Council poll held in the Federal Capital Territory and how it could affect the 2027 general election. Chuks Okocha brings excerpts.
The country is being held down by insecurity. We must first have a country before election. So where do we go from here because it’s like the terrorists are getting closer to Abuja?
Well, I’m from the North Central zone. And the issues are even personal to me because when they kill people in those communities, they attack communities where I have personal relationships, you know, like family, you know, all the way from Kebbi.
