Professor Jerry Gana has denied any link with late leader of
Boko Haram, Mohammed Yusuf.
In a statement by his spokesman, Adakole Ijogi, Gana
recalled that the allegation was first made over a decade ago.
Gana never denied bailing Yusuf, adding that the deceased
was granted bail in an open court that sat in Abuja in 2008/2009.
The former Minister of Information said one Ahmed Ibrahim
Suleiman, then an Officer in the Office of the Accountant General of the
Federation, stood surety for Yusuf “as contained in the attached bail
document”.
Gana noted that those behind the periodic and wicked
narrative were trying to use the fabrication to cast a doubt on his integrity
and assassinate his hard earned reputation as “an accomplished and upright
statesman”.
“We are surprised that a highly placed organization like the
Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA) would allow itself to be
associated with such unverified and totally untrue insinuations.
“To illustrate a total disregard for the truth, the
perpetrators went on to say that Prof Gana was Secretary of the Christian
Association of Nigeria (CAN), a position he has never been privileged to
occupy.”
Noting that his attackers were bent on deliberately
destroying his name, Gana disclosed he had directed his lawyers to commence
legal proceedings against the individuals, organisations and media platforms
that published the “despicable falsehood”.
