A former presidential candidate and prominent political figure from the Middle Belt, Gbenga Hashim, has continued his nationwide consultations on the state of the nation, this time meeting with key politicians from the North West region.

On Wednesday, August 14, Hashim led a delegation to meet with Alhaji Sule Lamido, former Foreign Affairs Minister and Governor of Jigawa State. Hashim shared the visit details on his official Facebook page, stating, “I visited with our leader in the Northern Progressive Group, Alhaji Sule Lamido, Former Foreign Affairs Minister, Former Governor of Jigawa State.”

In a statement released by Hashim’s media team, it was highlighted that Lamido had been a protégé of Alhaji Abubakar Rimi, the late former Governor of Old Kano State.
