Friday, October 10, 2025 - An erstwhile presidential candidate, Gbenga Olawepo-Hashim, says the All Progressives Congress, APC, orchestrated renewed allegations against him through his estranged wife.
In a statement by on Thursday, Olawepo-Hashim described the
move as part of a broader smear campaign to damage his reputation ahead of the
2027 general elections.
The former National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples
Democratic Party, PDP, also
alleged that the latest claims resurfacing in the media were sponsored by
political actors seeking to undermine his growing influence.
He added that similar efforts were made during his 2019
presidential bid, when certain elements around the Buhari administration
allegedly attempted to implicate him in false accusations.
“My ex-wife had been recruited by elements around Buhari in
the UK High Commission and the Nigerian Intelligence Agency (NIA).
“Apart from other sinister things they did, they tried to
frame me for funding terrorism. I was questioned in the UK and released when no
evidence was found,” he said.
