Jigawa State Governor, Alhaji Sule Lamido, wept publicly at a special reception organised to mark his victory for a second term on Sunday, the News Agency of Nigeria reports.


The occasion, which was organised in Dutse, the state capital, by the Directorate of Religious, Chieftancy and Sharia Implementation, drew Islamic clerics from all over the country.


The highlight of the ceremony was the presentation and preaching by various Islamic scholars who charged Lamido to do good things for the people.


A prominent Islamic scholar, Sheikh Rabiu Daura, tasked Lamido to visit the prisons and see the condition of some inmates who were jailed because of minor offences which could be pardoned.


Daura cited a case where a prisoner was jailed because of a debt of N200 after he was taken to court by his creditor.


He called on the governor to grant amnesty to such people anytime he visited the prison.


The cleric reminded Lamido that leadership was just like oath-taking and that everybody knew what happened during the election.


He appealed to Lamido to embrace everybody irrespective of political differences because “you are already a leader.”


Also speaking, the state PDP Chairman, Alhaji Duniya-ba-hutu, said the ceremony was aimed at celebrating the victory of Lamido.
