I’ll Never Return To Governor Chime Again – Wife Clara declares

Mrs. ClaraChime on Monday left the Government House in Enugu claiming she had been under pressure to remain as wife of the Enugu State Governor, Sullivan Chime.
She said she would have walked away from the marriage during the period Chime was sick and was away for five months, but remained on "very compassionate grounds."

Mrs. Chime said her thinking was that the sickness would change the governor's ways towards her but that he got worse months after his return from cancer treatment abroad.

According to her, on many occasions she attempted to leave but her family members, for pecuniary reasons, insisted she stayed put.

She said even when it was apparent that Chime no longer wanted the marriage, her family would not let her go.

She disclosed this through the mobile phone of one of her male siblings, about four hours after she eventually packed out from the Governors' Lodge on Monday.

The sibling declined revealing his identity, but stated that he was one of the few family members who supported Mrs. Chime's agitation to quit the marriage.

He said if he revealed his identity, it could cause a stir between him and other family members with whom members of the Chime family were still holding meetings on the matter.

He claimed that Chime had long lost interest in the marriage but held forth because he (Chime) didn't want his image stained.
