Tinubu Was Drinking Cognac Abroad When PDP Fought Military — Olawepo-Hashim
A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Gbenga Olawepo-Hashim, has criticised President Bola Tinubu, claiming he was abroad enjoying cognac while the PDP battled the military.
Olawepo-Hashim made the remarks during a live interview on Sunday Politics, a programme on Channels Television, while highlighting the resilience of the PDP.
“When we fought the military, President Bola Tinubu was one of those drinking cognac abroad. He was not here,” he said.
Recalling the political climate at the time, he added, “On the day General Sani Abacha died, I was with General Ibrahim Babangida, the G-34, and the civil society group that confronted Abacha.
“I was there for Babangida. They were moving tanks. We were civilians negotiating the new Republic. Many founding fathers of the PDP were in prison then.”
