Ahead of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) National Convention scheduled for November, former presidential candidate and party chieftain Gbenga Olawepo-Hashim has embarked on a reconciliation mission across the North Central zone aimed at strengthening the party’s unity.
Hashim has so far met with several key party leaders, including former Senate President Bukola Saraki and former Minister of Sports Damishi Sango, in what observers describe as a strategic effort to rebuild trust and cohesion within the PDP.
On his meeting with the former Senate President, Gbenga-Hashim said, “We agreed to work together for the greater interest of Nigeria, to rebuild the PDP in the North Central zone and the nation at large.”

Political observers see Hashim’s renewed engagements as part of a broader move to consolidate the PDP’s North Central bloc, which has long been regarded as the moral conscience of the party. With his outreach, Gbenga-Hashim, who has indicated interest in running for president on the platform of the PDP, is believed to be growing his profile as a unifying voice and consensus builder within opposition politics.
