I learnt a lot in Kuje prison -Ex-gov Nyame



A former Taraba State Governor, Jolly Nyame, promised to be a better leader if given another opportunity to govern the affairs of his state.

Nyame made the vow during a Thanksgiving service that took place at the Christian Association of Nigeria secretariat in Jalingo, the state capital on Thursday.

The former governor who said he learned a lot from his time in prison, was granted presidential pardon by former President Muhammadu Buhari in 2022 after he was convicted for fraud in 2018.

He only served four years of a 14-year sentence.

While declaring that the prison experience had bestowed him invaluable lessons, he also advised leaders to stand strong in the face of challenges.

“I learned a lot while in Kuje Prison and the hospital. If given another opportunity to lead the people of Taraba State, I will do better because of the experience I have gained,” he stated.

Justice Adebukola Banjoko of the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory in Gudu, Abuja, had on May 17, 2018, sentenced the former governor to 14 years imprisonment for acts of criminal breach of trust and misappropriation of the sum of N1.64bn belonging to the state.

However, he told The PUNCH in a December 2022 interview, that he had been vindicated by the presidential pardon granted him by former President Buhari.

Prisoners do not learn, they come out more hardened

Reverend father way dey loot treasury

Vindicated my ass

Another opportunity my foot....so that you can loot another treasure and blame devil again.....Never again😄😄

Lolz

Ole wants to lead the people of Taraba state again? Imagine the guts.

For him to have the temerity to talk about leading the people of Taraba again, it's either he considers them as fools or they are actually fools.

He isn't a Rev Father

Jolly Nyame is the worst governor after Peter Obi

No need to be given another opportunity, you have been tested and failed, let’s try someone else sir.

Normally normally prison na one confirm citadel of learning..

Ur mind go just de.

He should return the money at the current N~$ exchange rate.

Every Nigeria politician should spend at least a year in Nigeria prison. Similar to NYSC. These people are thieves and evil.

Just four years and he was pardoned... For what?

Bros, you have not learnt enough.

If sey na China we dey , na your remembrance we for dey mark , just imagine what this person is spewing from his mouth. Not only another chance .

Clown

Tinubu the best governor is now on the throne. How market??

Some jailed big men are not actually in the jail but in one location somewhere with full time prison warden at their beck and call at comfortable locations with ac and cleans beds and cooks etc

Buhari's decision to grant Presidential pardon to this man is another of the testaments of the weak leader that he was.

Its domino effect on governance and administration, as a deterrence to stealing in executive office, was a masterstroke that Buhari robbed all of us, of.

The Daura man must have considered political exigencies - but you do not do that on matters of bare-faced and convicted stealing. It would encourage others to do worse and further suffocate the fight against corruption. Here it is: he is effectively asking for another chance to rule Taraba!

A Christian Reverend gentleman who claims he learnt in prison. Who cares? Didn't Obasanjo learn in prison? By how much was he better, as a man who publicly amassed wealth by questionable means, when he came back to rule Nigeria?

The same queries people had from the Land Use policy and Operation Feed the Nation in 1976 that helped to establish Obasanjo Farms thereafter, or the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library Project that he got sitting governors to donate to, publicly on national television while he was a sitting president - a project which he makes money from as a private citizen today. It costs at least 3000 naira to tour the same library in Abeokuta today: a place that was built right before our eyes with public resources!

Many things are wrong with Nigeria, and this is another one of them.

Nigeria is set to be crushed, and I strongly believe this is happening soon. Nigeria is always pardoning political thieves who stole billions while ordinary and common people perish. Lol. If you are still praying for Nigeria, you are an enemy of the people suffering in it.

This thief is supposed to be advocating for good governance and taking it upon himself a campaign against corruption and embezzlement by going from one radio station to another and siting himself as a reference if truly he’s sorry. Look at him stylishly asking for another opportunity in office. Well, it’s Buhari master of corruption I blame for releasing you and that other criminal ex governor. Key to the prison you were both locked should’ve been thrown into Indian Ocean in a country where things are working.

Were talking N44billion and you're talking N1.6bn nonsense. Lol.... 😂😂😂 That Humanitarian disaster minister should be sentenced to about 70 years imprisonment.

He should still be in there, with a whole host of his peers currently walking free.

Go but sin no more. But both the pardonee and the pardoned are all treasury looters. "Ingfact" Buhari looted even more

Granting presidential pardon to a looter was one of the many stewpid things buhari did during his tenure as the president of the federal Republic of Nigeria.
