The Ashanti people of Ghana in West Africa believed in a supreme being called Nyame, whose sons were lesser gods. Each son served a different purpose: one was a rainmaker, another the sunshine (etc.) Worship of Nyame was the exclusive preserve of the king through his priests; lesser people worshiped her sons.
Two former governors, Reverend Jolly Tevoru Nyame (Taraba) and Chief Joshua Dariye (Plateau) were yesterday docked before Justice Abimbola Banjoko of an Abuja High Court on allegations of stealing, criminal breach of trust, diversion of public funds, bribery and misappropriation of funds.
Nyame is accused of stealing over N5.5 billion belonging to his state, while Dariye faces a fresh trial over contract award.
Nyame who rooted his application on the provisions of sections 36 and 341 (2) (b) of the constitution and criminal procedure code prayed the court to admit him to bail pending his trial.
Nyame's political opponents know that he does not roll out the drums to celebrate his achievements and so they often take advantage of that to spread false information, especially, outside the state against him and his administration.
Nyame's determination was to alleviate the sufferings of the people of the area hence he considered the reconstruction of the hospital at the cost of over N400 million.
Governor Nyame, a man of taste, is already constructing a befitting 40 units of one story building duplex for the members of the state executive council, such as commissioners and special advisers.
