Ex-Governor, Jolly Nyame sentenced by court yesterday
The Presidency has reacted to the sentencing of ex-Governor Taraba state, Jolly Nyame to 14 years imprisonment.
The presidency reacting through Buhari’s Personal Assistant on
Social Media, Lauretta Onochie, said Nyame’s sentencing had shown that
APC was not a place for criminals.
She commended Justice Adebukola Banjoko for withstanding all forms
of pressure and inducements from corrupt lawyers and godfathers, adding
that it was a victory for all law abiding citizens of the nation.
Laurette on Facebook wrote, ”For 7 years under the PDP led government, Ex Gov. Jolly Nyame stood at the door steps of justice.
”Then he defected to APC, and in three years, Honourable
Justice Adebukola Banjoko, led him to the bowels of Justice, giving the
people of Taraba, the justice they deserve. This is a clear signal that
the War on corruption is in full swing.
”It’s evidence that our laws can reach everywhere. This is a
clear evidence that APC is not a hiding place for those who have
questions, criminal questions to answer. The long arm of the law will
grab all those who believe that by joining APC, they are washed clean.
APC is not a harbour for those running from the law.
”It’s a victory for all law abiding citizens of this nation and
hope for all those Wards, Local Government Areas, States,
Constituencies and Senatorial Districts where their elected leaders and
Representatives have betrayed their trust by going to, and staying in
bed with corruption and impunity.
”We must thank this worthy Judge who withstood all forms of
pressure and inducements from corrupt Lawyers and Godfathers. Honourable
Justice Adebukola Banjoko is a shining example of a Judge in the
Criminal Justice system that is slowly but surely, emerging in our
nation.
”The days when justice is for sale, are coming to an end. The days when only the poor gets punished for crimes are nearly over.
”Our laws are gradually coming after only those who abuse them. Our nation is on the mend.
”I don’t know about you but I’m mighty glad to be alive to see these beautiful days in our nation.
”I’m also glad that I’m part of the greater Nigeria, making corruption a thing of the past.”
