PDP Faces Division Over Jonathan and Hashim Support

The People's Democratic Party (PDP) faces potential division over support for former President Goodluck Jonathan and Gbenga Hashim ahead of the 2027 presidential primary. A group in the North West region cautioned against using Jonathan as a spoiler in the party's presidential race.

The group emphasized the need for a transparent electoral process to avoid repeating past mistakes that weakened the party. They highlighted the importance of electing a candidate based on merit rather than regional sentiments.

Gbenga Hashim, a founding member of the PDP, was described as a democrat who has sacrificed for the party's progress, signaling internal tensions within the party.
