Former presidential candidate and 2027 hopeful, Gbenga Hashim, has returned to public conversation as Nigerians revive a 2021 security proposal in which he advocated for a Defence Cooperation Agreement (DCA) with friendly nations.
The discussion surged on X (formerly Twitter) under the hashtag #HashimSecurityVision, with many users highlighting the relevance of his earlier recommendations.

Hashim had stressed that a DCA would give Nigeria access to global intelligence systems, advanced surveillance tools, modern combat technologies, and strengthened counter-terrorism expertise—capabilities he described as crucial for addressing Nigeria’s deepening insecurity.
The renewed interest follows a recent security alert from the U.S. government over rising violence in parts of Nigeria. Many Nigerians now argue that Hashim’s proposal demonstrated clear foresight into the country’s security vulnerabilities and the structural weaknesses affecting national defence.
The online resurgence has also brought back attention to Hashim’s 2018 economic blueprint valued at $4 trillion, which laid out plans for industrial growth, infrastructure expansion, and large-scale job creation—issues that remain pressing amid inflation, currency depreciation, and slow economic recovery.

According to analysts, the revival of both proposals highlights Hashim’s reputation for issue-based politics, focusing on structural reforms, economic modernization, and robust security strategy. One political observer remarked, “Hashim stands out as Nigeria’s thinking politician because his politics is anchored on ideas, not noise.”
As Nigeria continues to grapple with diplomatic tension, economic hardship, and persistent insecurity, the renewed focus on Hashim’s long-term policy ideas suggests a public desire for leaders with genuine strategic vision rather than short-term political theatrics.
Whether the online interest will evolve into wider political support remains uncertain, but the trend underscores the value Nigerians place on early-warning voices and proactive policy solutions.
