PDP Now In Pocket Of Minister Working For Opposition – Olawepo-Hashim

Former Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential aspirant, Gbenga Olawepo-Hashim, has stated that the party cannot be saved.

Olawepo-Hashim, who recently defected from the PDP, made the declaration during an interview on Arise Television’s ‘Prime Time’ on Tuesday.

He stated that he has given up on the party, adding that it is a lost cause to try to save it.

He said he was all for reconciling factions in the party, noting that he would not be part of a process that coronates the incumbent.

Olawepo-Hashim “The PDP has now degenerated into a party in the pockets of a PDP minister who is working with the opposition. I give up; it is a lost battle trying to save the PDP.

“Well, I was still open that we should be able to reconcile the party up till when the FCT Minister Nyesom Wike’s faction had their own convention.

“I was optimistic that the agreement in principle that were breached among the parties, even before the Appeal Court judgment, which was, let’s harmonize the true executive.

“We will have a Joint National Executive Committee meeting, and then if you are going to have any convention at all, it was going to be a unity convention that basically ratifies the harmonized list.

“But by the time the Wike’s group went into their own convention, they did their own thing basically from top to bottom.

“Now that was not the huge challenge for me, but there was this loud noise that they were going to ratify the incumbent President, Bola Tinubu, for 2027.”
