In a groundbreaking political development, former presidential candidate and renowned statesman, Gbenga Olawepo-Hashim, has brought together the chairmen of all area council chapters of the two major political parties in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT)—the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
The historic meeting, which took place yesterday, was convened to promote national unity, prosperity, and security beyond political divides.
Olawepo-Hashim’s initiative is seen as a timely intervention in a period when Nigeria faces challenges that require collective action and bipartisan cooperation.
Speaking during the event, Olawepo-Hashim emphasized the importance of prioritizing the nation’s interest over partisan politics. “Our mission is clear—to restore Nigeria’s unity, ensure prosperity for all, and guarantee security for our people. This can only be achieved when we work together, regardless of party affiliation,” he stated.
The chairmen of both APC and PDP in the FCT applauded the initiative, describing it as a bold step towards fostering peace and collaboration. They pledged to support efforts that prioritize the welfare of Nigerians above political competition.
This landmark meeting marks a rare display of political maturity and unity, as representatives of rival parties put aside their differences to discuss solutions for the country’s pressing challenges.
As the nation continues to navigate complex issues, this initiative by Olawepo-Hashim serves as a beacon of hope and a reminder that Nigeria’s success depends on collective effort and shared commitment to national development.
This move has sparked widespread praise and is expected to inspire similar bipartisan collaborations across the country.
