Olawepo-Hashim and Makinde Discuss PDP Crisis Resolution

Gbenga Olawepo-Hashim, a presidential aspirant, held a closed-door meeting with Seyi Makinde, the Governor of Oyo State, to discuss the ongoing crisis within the People's Democratic Party (PDP). The meeting, which took place on a Thursday, focused on the necessity for cohesion among key stakeholders in the party.

Olawepo-Hashim described the engagement as productive and aimed at addressing broader strategic concerns affecting the party's future. He underscored the importance of internal unity to ensure the PDP serves as a credible opposition and provides effective national leadership during a time when Nigeria requires stability and strong democratic institutions.

Olawepo-Hashim expressed optimism that sustained engagement would help restore confidence and resolve internal disputes, which have intensified following the resignation of the former national chairman and the emergence of parallel leadership claims. The PDP is grappling with internal crises as it prepares for the November 2025 elections, with ongoing efforts to reconcile aggrieved factions and strengthen the party's structure.
