PDP crisis: Gbenga Hashim weighs exit option

The crisis within the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has deepened, with presidential aspirant and founding member Gbenga Hashim considering leaving the party after reconciliation efforts collapsed. Tensions have escalated in recent weeks, with rival factions rendering the party increasingly ineffective as a national opposition platform. There are indications that some PDP members may have aligned with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's government, raising concerns about the party's identity as an opposition force.
