My people, na today we go shine light for wetin happen for Ondo State as dem celebrate New Year. Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa don release 77 inmates from correctional centres for di state, no be small matter o!

This sweet news come from di Governor himself as e follow di recommendation wey dey come from di State Advisory Council on Prerogative of Mercy. Na dis council dey help governors to show mercy for convicts wey deserve second chance, and as we sabi, January 1st na correct time to give amnesty.

Di Attorney General, Kayode Ajulo, wey dey head di council, yarn say dem no just wake up one morning come decide to grant pardon. No! Dem consider wetin di inmates do, how long dem don dey serve, how dem behave for inside prison, and even di health condition wey dey affect dem.

“After we check all di matters, we recommend 77 convicts to di governor,” Ajulo talk. Na 12 of dem go pack their load come out completely, while for 22 condemned inmates, dem don comot di death sentence wey dey hang for neck and turn am to life imprisonment. Na so dem reduce life sentences for others too, from 25 years to 10 years for some wey show say dem fit change!

Aiyedatiwa sef don reason am say di justice system suppose balance punishment with compassion, especially for people wey dey show genuine remorse. Dis na wahala wey plenty pipo go enjoy as dem go fit get second chance.

Ajulo talk say, “Dis act by di governor no be just for show, e dey show say im dey serious for reform and to make di correctional facilities less overloaded. E don dey do am since im enter office.”

No wahala my people, we no go forget say di New Year dey bring fresh hope for many wey don find themselves for di wrong side of di law, and Governor Aiyedatiwa dey try bring dem back to society.

As pipo dey talk for street, dis release na big win for di families wey don dey suffer since dem loved ones don enter prison. E be like say New Year wey bring new beginning dey shine for many faces today.
