N500 Million Fraud Allegation: You Cannot Lead PDP, Youth Group Tells Professor Jerry Gana...Asks Him To Resolve the Matter with Polaris Bank.

The Peoples Democratic Party Northern Youth Alliance for Good Governance (PDPNYAGG) had called on the former Minister of Information, Professor Jerry Gana, to settle all issues relating to his involvement in the fraudulent N500 Million debt owed Polaris Bank when he was chairman of Presidential Fundraising Committee in 2014.

The Group in a statement signed by its National Coordinator, Dr Inuwa Yunusa in Minna, Niger State, said, Professor Gana, as Chairman of the PDP Presidential Fund Raising Committee, used his company, “Mind Base Konsult” as a financial consultant to borrow N500 Million from Skye Bank Plc, now Polaris Bank but could not account for it.

According to Dr Yunusa, Professor Gana did not follow due process in obtaining the unpaid loan, in line with the constitution of the PDP in section 53(1), adding that the procedures were never subjected to the PDP’s internal financial mechanism.

“Professor Jerry Gana, as Chairman of Presidential Fund Raising Committee in 2014 borrowed N500 million from the then Skye Bank Plc, now Polaris Bank, to fund a fundraising committee that could not even raise money to settle what he borrowed. The annoying part is that he did not follow due process. As we speak to you, the bank placed a garnishee order on a PDP account in Polaris Bank because of Professor Gana’s misdemeanour,”- Dr Inuwa Yunusa said.

The Group called on party leaders nationwide, especially in the north, to disregard any attempt by Professor Gana on becoming the National Chairman of the party, saying that such a person at the helm of affairs will spell doom for the PDP.

“Our party members may wish to know that Professor Gana’s company, Mind Base Konsults had obtained an interlocutory order from a court, baring the PDP from operating its account in Polaris Bank even when the party does not know how and when Professor Gana borrowed the N500 million. Is that the kind of person you want to manage the affairs of the party?”

The Group is asking the former minister of information to perish the thought of becoming the party’s national chairman; instead, the Group urged Professor Gana to settle the matter with the party out of court as ordered by the court.
