Olawepo-Hashim Reunites APC, PDP In FCT

Former presidential candidate and statesman, Gbenga Olawepo-Hashim, has reunited 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 Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as part of his unity initiatives.

The historic meeting which took place yesterday was convened to promote national unity, prosperity and security beyond political divides, a statement from his media office said.

Speaking during the event, Olawepo-Hashim emphasised the importance of prioritising 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 FCT chairmen of both parties applauded the initiative, describing it as a bold step towards fostering peace and collaboration. They pledged to support efforts that prioritise the welfare of Nigerians above political competition.

According to the statement, Olawepo-Hashim’s initiative is seen as a timely intervention in a period when Nigeria faces challenges that require collective action and bipartisan cooperation.

It added that the landmark meeting marked 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.
