A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Gbenga Olawepo-Hashim, has said that President Bola Tinubu was one of those drinking cognac abroad when the party fought the military.
Olawepo-Hashim made this statement during a live appearance in an interview on ‘Sunday Politics’, a programme on Channels Television.
He was speaking on the resilience and strength of the PDP.
“When we fought the military, President Bola Tinubu was one of the people drinking cognac abroad. He was not here.
“A day General Sani Abacha died, I was with General Ibrahim Babangida, the G-34 and the civil society group that confronted Abacha.
“I was in for Babangida. They were moving tanks. We were civilians negotiating the new Republic. So many founding fathers of the PDP were in prison as of then,” he said.
