In the aftermath of the Court of Appeal judgment on the leadership tussle in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), a chieftain of the opposition party, Gbenga Hashim, has implored party leaders to close ranks.
The Court of Appeal, on Monday, in a judgment on the leadership tussle in the opposition party, nullified the November 15 and 16 national convention of the PDP, which produced the Tanimu Turaki-led National Working Committee (NWC).
However, Hashim, who is also a presidential hopeful, in his reaction to the judgment, said leaders from the contending sides had already agreed in principle to harmonise their positions through ongoing talks and negotiations.

According to him, “This is a family quarrel that must now end at the appeal court. Leaders on both sides have agreed in principle to unite and harmonise positions in all the talks and negotiations we have heard.”
Hashim expressed optimism that the reconciliation efforts would succeed, noting that party members and Nigerians at large are looking forward to a united opposition.
He added that “we trust that this unity would be achieved by the grace of God. Nigerians earnestly expect this, and posterity demands it.”
