ABUJA — Presidential Candidate of the Accord Party and Co-Chairman of the Movement for Democratic Renewal, MDR, Dr. Gbenga Olawepo-Hashim, has welcomed the agreement between the United States and Iran aimed at ending hostilities and restoring stability in the Middle East.
Olawepo-Hashim said the agreement carries implications beyond the Middle East, with stability in the region affecting global security, energy markets, international trade, investment flows and economic growth.
In a statement made available to journalists by his media team, Olawepo-Hashim, who spoke during a brief visit to Dakar, Senegal, commended the governments and international partners whose diplomatic efforts helped create the conditions for dialogue and a peaceful resolution of tensions.
“I welcome the agreement between the United States and Iran aimed at ending the conflict and restoring stability in the Middle East,” he said.
He also acknowledged the countries and international partners involved in the process.
“I commend President Donald Trump, the Governments of Iran, Qatar and Pakistan, alongside other international partners whose efforts helped create the conditions for peace,” he added.
According to Olawepo-Hashim, the agreement underscores the role of diplomacy in resolving international disputes at a time of growing global uncertainty.
“Stability in the Middle East is important not only for the region, but also for global security, energy markets, trade, and economic development,” Olawepo-Hashim stated.
“The world’s economies are interconnected, and disruptions in one region often create consequences across continents.”
He said Nigeria and the wider African continent have a stake in a peaceful and predictable international order.
“A peaceful international environment creates better opportunities for development. Nigeria and Africa must continue to support efforts that advance peace, cooperation, and stability among nations,” he said.
Olawepo-Hashim said he hopes the agreement will help reduce tensions in the Middle East and support international efforts aimed at promoting peaceful coexistence, economic stability and shared prosperity.
