Former Minister of Information, Prof. Jerry Gana has dissociated himself from the so-called Biafra Zionist Federation led by one Barr. Benjamin Onwuka who recently declared a Republic of Biafra, naming Prof. Gana, alongside other prominent Nigerians as members of the republic’s cabinet and government.
In a statement made available to SIGNAL and issued on behalf of Prof. Gana by Adakole Ijogi, his Special Assistant (Political), the former Minister said he received with utter dismay and incongruity the report purportedly appointing him as Minister in the cabinet of a certain Biafra Zionist Federation declared by 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. Long Live the Federal Republic of Nigeria”, he said.
