A presidential aspirant on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Gbenga Hashim, has emphasised the need for stronger unity within the party as part of efforts to resolve its internal crisis.
Hashim made the call in a statement following his meeting with Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, in Abuja, stressing that cohesion remains central to the PDP’s role as a credible opposition.
The meeting forms part of ongoing consultations and behind-the-scenes engagements among party leaders aimed at redefining alliances, strengthening internal structures and managing tensions ahead of the next electoral cycle.
Describing the engagement as productive and forward-looking, Hashim said discussions focused on fostering unity within the party and positioning it to play a more decisive role in Nigeria’s multi-party democracy.
He commended Makinde for his commitment to the PDP and his contributions to sustaining and strengthening democratic practice in the country.
According to him, unity within the party is critical to its ability to provide credible opposition and national leadership, particularly at a time when Nigeria’s democratic system requires stability, inclusiveness and strong institutions.
Hashim expressed confidence that sustained dialogue among stakeholders would help bridge internal divisions and reposition the PDP for improved competitiveness in future elections.
