According to wetin the Chief Press Secretary, Mr Ebenezer Adeniyan talk, this move na clear sign of compassionate leadership wey the governor sabi. Dem don already announce say dis seven convicts wey get amnesty dey selected based on how dem behave for prison, plus di effort wey dem put for rehabilitation.
Na so Aiyedatiwa show say, e no just dey believe for punishment alone but wetin dem dey call restorative justice. Dis kind decision fit bring light for any darkness wey dey for dem life. Dis for him mind, na second chance for those wey don gree say dem go change.
Dr Kayode Ajulo, wey be the Chairman of the State Advisory Council on the Prerogative of Mercy, even do am say di governor make correct decision wey show wetin e dey think about accountability and mercy. Dem don’t also commend am for di way him dey reform di justice sector.
But no be only dis one wey we don dey hear o! Only January 1, 2026, Aiyedatiwa don grant amnesty to 77 prisoners as part of New Year celebration. Na so e dey push for prison decongestion, as dem dey consider people wey get good behavior and don really repent.
