This was made known in a statement made available to Gistlover by Olawepo-Hashim’s director of communication, Segun Abifarin. Highly placed sources claimed that the strategists are believed to be scared stiff that the opposition people’s Democratic Party may pick its candidate from the north and should that happen, the outcome of the 2023 presidential election may not be favorable to APC, they are therefore seriously considering drafting in a northerner into the race.

Until recently, he claimed Kwara as state of origin, but he now says he has traced his roots to Kebbi state, and how this plays out is left to be seen.
