Olawepo-Hashim Critiques Tinubu's Absence During PDP Struggles

In a recent live television interview, Gbenga Olawepo-Hashim, a chieftain of the People's Democratic Party (PDP), criticized President Bola Tinubu for his absence during a critical period in Nigeria's history. He claimed that while the PDP was actively fighting against military rule, specifically during the regimes of Generals Sani Abacha and Ibrahim Babangida, Tinubu was abroad consuming cognac.

Olawepo-Hashim's comments were made during a discussion on the resilience and strength of the PDP in its opposition to military governance. He referenced the historical context of the PDP's formation, which arose from the struggles against military dictatorships in Nigeria, highlighting the party's role in advocating for civilian rule and democracy.
