A former presidential candidate and businessman, Mr. Gbenga Olawepo-Hashim, has brought together the chairmen of all the area council chapters of the two major political parties in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) — the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
The historic meeting, which took place yesterday, was convened to promote national unity, prosperity, and security beyond the political divides.
The initiative is seen as a timely intervention in a period when Nigeria faces challenges that require collective action and bipartisan cooperation.
During the event, Olawepo-Hashim emphasised the need to prioritise 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 said.

The chairmen of both parties in the FCT 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.
Olawepo-Hashim’s landmark meeting marked a rare display of political maturity and unity where representatives of rival parties put aside their differences and discussed solutions for the country’s pressing challenges.
As the nation continues to navigate complex issues, Olawepo-Hashim’s initiative serves as a beacon of hope and a reminder that Nigeria’s success depends on collective effort and shared commitment to national development.
