2027: Nigeria Risks Falling to ISIS if Tinubu Returns - Olawepo-Hashim

Presidential candidate of the Accord Party, Gbenga Olawepo-Hashim, has warned that Nigeria could face a threat from ISIS if President Bola Tinubu returns to office after the 2027 election.

Speaking during an interview in Abuja, Olawepo-Hashim claimed that more than 30,000 people have been killed due to terrorism under Tinubu's administration. He also highlighted that terrorist and bandit groups have expanded their influence into rural communities in 17 out of Nigeria's 19 northern states.

The Accord candidate argued that the government should not solely address the security challenges in Nigeria by relying on the military and police forces. He proposed the establishment of a National Guard as part of a broader restructuring of Nigeria's internal security architecture to effectively tackle terrorism, banditry, and other armed threats while reinforcing state authority in vulnerable communities.

Olawepo-Hashim's comments come amid ongoing security operations against terrorists, bandits, and other armed groups across different parts of Nigeria.
