Former presidential aspirant, Gbenga Olawepo-Hashim, says there is readiness for reconciliation on both factions of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
Olawepo-Hashim gave this hint on Wednesday during a live appearance in an interview on Arise Television’s ‘Prime Time’.
He was speaking on the recent judgment of the Appeal Court that dismissed the Taminu Turaki-led faction of the party.
DAILY POST had reported that the Court of Appeal in Abuja upheld the judgment of the Federal High Court in Abuja which on October 31, 2025, restrained the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, from recognizing the outcome of the 2025 National Convention of the PDP.
“It is positive that both parties already agree that the path of contestation at the apex court is not helpful to the party, and there is an urgent need for an agreement.
“Well, the good news is that we are seeing a public acknowledgement of the readiness for reconciliation among the parties, and these talks we’ve been having already, and even the various groups have been talking among themselves.
“So I see it as positive that there is a public acknowledgement. I’m also aware that the other side, in their meeting that is just ending, already decided also to have the talks and to reconcile.
“So there is a readiness for reconciliation on both sides. And for me, that is positive. I think this is the next step, and that’s quite positive, and I’m quite glad about that. I’m grateful to God for that,” Olawepo-Hashim said.
