Chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Professor Jerry Gana, has distance himself from his recent ministerial appointment by the Biafra Zionist Federation (BZF).

The group had announced an interim ‎government to run the affairs of Biafra, in which Gana was appointed cabinet member.

In a statement signed and issued by the Special Assistant on Politics to the former minister of information, Adakole Ijogi, Gana said he was in love with Nigeria and cannot contemplate pledging allegiance to any other nation.

”We received with utter dismay and incongruity the recent press release and media report purportedly appointing Prof. Jerry Gana, CON as Minister in the cabinet of a certain Biafra Zionist Federation by one Barr. Benjamin Onwuka.

”Prof. Jerry Gana, wishes to resolutely dissociate himself from both the so-called Biafra Zionist Federation and its activities. Prof. Gana remains very loyal and firmly committed to the integrity of the Federal Republic of Nigerian.

”We wish to re-state very clearly that, Prof. Gana, and our people, are too much in love with the Federal Republic of Nigeria to contemplate allegiance to any other nation, real or imaginary.

”While he appreciates the strong desires of some compatriots for greater inclusion, fairness, justice, and equitable development, Prof. Gana remains strongly of the view that a transformed, balanced and united Federal Republic of Nigeria is a far better and sustainable solution than dis-integration into small nation-states,” the statement reads.
