By: Jumoke Olasoji



Former Minister of Information, Jerry Gana, has on Thursday, declared his intention to run for presidency come 2019, under the flag of the Social Democratic Party (SDP).



This intention, he said , was borne out of “patriotic zeal and conviction that with my pedigree, experience, skills and academic endowment, to provide the requisite leadership to transform the fortunes of the Nigerian people and change the trajectory of our country towards the attainment of our fullest potentials" as well as  his deep concern for the "rise in level of insecurity , ethnic decadence that has not been witnessed since the end of the war."
 “Nigeria is facing an existential threat, the seriousness and proportion of which have never been witnessed since the end of the war.
 “There is crippling uncertainty everywhere. People are suffering unprecedented and untold hardships as a result of arrested development.

Insecurity that has rendered human life brutish, short and nasty is rampart across the zones, states, communities and villages.
 “Asymmetrical war on corruption is fueling further ethnic decadence, while anxiety, unpatriotism and poverty have coalesced into a creepy epidemic of self doubt.



“Being a patriotic and committed democrat, who has carried a burden for the rapid development of our far nation for decades, I am deeply concerned at the very real prospect of Nigeria imploding unless our great party comes to the rescue with a God fearing, dynamic, untainted and credible leadership.

 “In all of this, the current leadership of the nation, at the highest level of government, seems unconcerned, incompetent or incapable of turning around the drift.”
on how competent and ready he is for the job, Mr Gana said;


“I have maintained integrity, competence, character, capacity and respect to public office. These opportunities and exposure added to the fact that I have widely traveled across the length and breadth of the nation, many times by road, I have a front row understanding of our country, as well as the wealth of experience have definitely placed me in a most very vantage position, for above several others, to rework Nigeria and deeply renew the hope of the people in the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

“Having consulted and affirmed by my family, local community, friends and a cross-section of eminent citizens and stakeholders across the core national divides of ethnicity, religion and regions, I am convinced that this is the fit time for me to offer for this national assignment on the platform of our great party.”
Mr Gana first sought the presidency as an aspirant under the SDP of the short-lived Third Republic before serving as minister under the government of former President Olusegun Obasanjo.
