NLC President Calls Atiku, Obi, Tinubu ‘Far right Market Politicians’, Praises Gbenga Hashim, Adebayo’s Policy Platforms

Ahead of the 2027 presidential election, President of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Comrade Joe Ajaero, has urged Nigerians to attach importance to Dr. Gbenga Olawepo-Hashim’s policy platform ditto SDP presidential candidate, Mr Adewole Adebayo noting that their ‘new ideas’ warrant serious public attention.

Dr. Gbenga Olawepo-Hashim is the Accord Party presidential candidate.

Team@orientactualmags.com learned that Mr Ajaero said this during an interview with Seun Okinbaloye on Mic On at the weekend.

Asked about the policy platform of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, the ADC presidential candidate, with special reference to economy, rather than focusing on Atiku’s ‘policy platform’, the NLC president said he has examined the ‘policy platform’ of Dr Gbenga Hashim and that of Mr Adebayo and found their proposed actions sufficiently different to warrant engagement.

‘I have assessed Gbenga Hashim’s policy platform and I think he’s an expert to an extent. I also looked at Adebayo. I may listen to them’ he said.

Ajaero contrasted the ‘policy platform’ of Hashim and that of Adebayo with those of Peter Obi, Atiku Abubakar and President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, who according to him share broadly similar economic thinking.

‘Peter Obi, Atiku and Asiwaju, they all have the same position and they have shown that they are market people from far right’ he said.

He added that Hashim and Adebayo, by contrast, are bringing ‘new ideas worthy of engagement’.

Ajaero’s comments have drawn attention to Hashim’s policy platform, particularly his Energy First agenda, which places affordable energy, increased domestic production, industrialization and productive capacity at the centre of his proposed economic transformation.

Hashim has proposed a ₦605 per litre starting petrol price, with a longer-term target of ₦200–₦300 through lower production costs, domestic refining, increased crude production and improved efficiency.

He has also pledged to raise Nigeria’s crude production to at least four million barrels per day within 24 months, while expanding domestic refining and energy infrastructure as part of a broader plan to make Nigeria a major global energy power-Team@orientactualmags.com  Do you have any information you wish to share with us?
