Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue State praised President Muhammadu Buhari and the National Council of States on Friday for giving state pardons to Senator Joshua Dariye, the former governor of Plateau State, and Rev Jolly Nyame, the former governor of Taraba.
According to sources, Dariye and Nyame were serving jail terms in Abuja’s Kuje Correctional Centre after being convicted of financial mismanagement while serving as governors in their respective states between 1999 and 2007.
Remember that Ortom, in an Arise Television interview a week ago, pleaded with the federal government to look into the situations of Dariye and Nyame in order to award them state pardons.
President Buhari granted the state pardon for Dariye, Nyame, and others during a meeting of the National Council of States in Abuja on Thursday.
Ortom congratulated President Buhari and the National Council of States for the gesture through his chief press secretary, Mr Nathaniel Ikyur.
He said, “Some useful lessons must have been learnt from the incident.”
He also thanked the two leaders’ friends, family, and political acquaintances for their support during their captivity.
Dariye and Nyame, he claimed, would now be reunited with their family and live a happy life.
