Rev. Jolly Tavoro Nyame, former Governor of Taraba State, has shared what he learned during his incarceration at the Kuje Correctional Centre in Abuja.
Nyame revealed at a Thanksgiving service held at the Christian Association of Nigeria Secretariat in Jalingo, Taraba’s capital.
The former governor promised to become a more capable leader if given a second chance to preside over the state’s affairs after his incarceration.
He explained that the experience had bestowed invaluable lessons, shaping him into a better leader for the people of Taraba State.
Nyame stated, “I learned a lot while in Kuje Prison and in 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 stressed the significance of having faith and resilience, urging leaders to remain steadfast in the face of challenges.
Nyame, who served only four years of a 14-year sentence, said that his imprisonment was politically motivated.
He urged Nigerians to spend wisely and called on the government to prioritize policies that improve citizens’ lives.
