Elder statesman and former Minister of Information, Prof. Jerry Gana, has officially received his Peoples Democratic Party certificate of return from ex-President Goodluck Jonathan. The handover strengthens Gana’s standing within the PDP ahead of upcoming political activities.

Jonathan, who remains influential in PDP reconciliation efforts, handed over the document in a move party insiders describe as part of wider moves to mend divisions and rally stakeholders. The gesture signals the party’s bid to bring veteran members back into active roles.

For Gana, collecting the certificate confirms his renewed mandate under the PDP structure. Analysts say his involvement could boost the party’s push to consolidate support and present a united front before future polls.

While the party has not specified the exact office or election the certificate covers, the development has already sparked discussion among PDP members nationwide. Many view it as a step toward restoring cohesion and leveraging the experience of long-standing leaders.
