A former Taraba state governor, Jolly Tavoro Nyame has vowed to emerge as a more capable leader if given a second chance to preside over the affairs of the state.

Nyame, who spoke during a Thanksgiving service that took place at the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) secretariat in Jalingo, Taraba state, also said he learned so much while serving his jail term at the Kuje correctional centre.

He declared that the experience had bestowed invaluable lessons, shaping him into a better potential leader for the people of Taraba State.

Nyame stated: “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.”
