Governor Sullivan Chime of Enugu State on Tuesday
night denied subjecting his wife, Mrs. Clara Chime,
to house arrest and has vowed to protect her from
being exposed to ridicule.
Chime made this denial in the presence of some
journalists, his wife and her elder brother, Mr. Tony
Igwe.
Also present were the governor's siblings, Mrs. May
Oji and Dr. Jide Chime, as well as Mrs. Chime's
neuro-psychiatric doctor, Dr. Aham Agumuo, among
a few others.
At the interview session, the governor's wife denied
sending any petition to the National Human Rights
Commission alleging unlawful detention by her
husband.
She also denied hiring the services of Mr. Femi
Falana to seek her freedom from an alleged house
arrest at the Governor's Lodge, Enugu.
Falana had claimed in his letter to media houses
and the Inspector-General of Police that he was
engaged by the governor's wife to seek her freedom
from alleged house arrest.
The state governor, however, stated that it was "so
disturbing" for him to speak out publicly about his
wife's health challenges.
He vowed to do all within his power, no matter the
personal pains, to protect her from ridicule.
"Well, my wife has some medical challenges and it
would be very unkind for me to talk about her
condition on the pages of newspapers.
"I have done everything to protect her integrity and
I'm not now going to expose her to ridicule because
some people want to exploit her situation to drag
me into a needless war of words," Chime said.
Hmmm......I would really love to know what's happening here.
