“Cognac Chronicles: Tinubu’s Absence During PDP’s Battle with the Military – Insights from Olawepo-Hashim”

A leader of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Gbenga Olawepo-Hashim, has asserted that President Bola Tinubu was among those enjoying cognac overseas while the party battled the military.

Olawepo-Hashim expressed this during a live segment in an interview on ‘Sunday Politics’, a show on Channels Television.

He was addressing the resilience and fortitude of the PDP.

“While we opposed the military, President Bola Tinubu was one of those indulging in cognac abroad. He was absent here.

“On the day General Sani Abacha passed away, I was with General Ibrahim Babangida, the G-34, and the civil society collective that stood against Abacha.

“I was advocating for Babangida. They were deploying tanks. We were civilians negotiating the new Republic. Numerous founding figures of the PDP were imprisoned at that time,” he stated.
