Former Governor of Taraba State, Rev. Jolly Nyame has said he holds no grudges against those who are behind his incarceration for over four years.
Nyame, who stated this on Saturday on arriving in Jalingo, the state capital, claims his being in a correctional centre for that long had a divine purpose.
It would be recalled that Nyame was sentenced to prison following his alleged misappropriation of over N1 billion during the period he presided over the affairs of the state as governor.
He however regained his freedom when President Mohammadu Buhari through the Council of State granted him and the former governor of Plateau State, Joshua Dariye presidential pardon.
The former governor who has been in his Abuja residence since his release from prison recently returned to the state.
He was received by multitudes of people from Taraba as well as those from the neighbouring state, who escorted him to the Jolly Nyame stadium where he addressed the crowd.
He said,
“I am back home” he promised to redefine the politics of Taraba, which many politicians who spoke claimed to have been bastardized by the incumbent administration under the leadership of Governor Darius Dickson Ishaku.
Urging the people to remain calm and law-abiding, Nyame said plans for him to engage all Tarabans spread across the sixteen local government councils of the state in a round table dialogue are already in the pipeline
