Former Minister of Information, Professor Jerry Gana, has defended his role in the N500 million loan facility he alleged collected ‎on behalf of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) from Syke Bank.

Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to the National Chairman, Alhaji Inuwa Bwala, last week, threatened to drag the former minister before the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to explain what he used the money for.

But Gana who attended the 55th meeting of the PDP Board of Trustees (BoT) on Monday said the loan was for the 2014 fundraising which he was the chairman.
