Wife of Enugu State governor, Mrs. Clara Chime, who, last
year, vacated the Governor’s Lodge, where she lived with Governor Sullivan
Chime after alleging she was forcefully confined in the Government House, has
apologized for her actions.
Her letter reads:
“At the deepest of my thought emanated this truth, which I
believe is worth to share with the nation because of the ongoing political
movement in Enugu State in which my name is attached.
The psychiatrist presented to the world that I was suffering
from mental illness and till date, has refused to furnish H.E. Governor
Sullivan with detailed report of his assumed illness assessment.
My appearance on Channel TV was to debunk some awkward
perceptions, and to be seen and heard by the public, which was triggered on the
grounds that H.E. Governor Sullivan Chime permitted dehumanizing plans that
were targeted at me by his enemies.
I hereby sincerely apologize and take back my words, leaving
other things in the hands of God.
My dearest Enugu women, like you all know, my teachings,
right from the onset have been ‘making heaven a priority; and let the truth be
told and accepted at all costs.’ Indeed, I plead with you all to forgive me if
by chance I was misunderstood, especially going by the manner the media played
out my exit. I still remain that your lovely daughter, teacher, wife and
mother.
I must confess that I miss you all, and please you all
should acknowledge that my option of taking an exit then was divine, if you
carefully listened to my last speech during my last outing in the state (Enugu)
or I advise you renew your memory by getting a copy of my speech, then you will
ascertain that it was my personal decision, which was divine from God to take
an exit; only that enemies played up my exit like there were other motives they
had.
My dear Enugu women, as we all know, the Bible made us to
understand that we must always pray for our leaders at all times! Like I
rightly said to you all three years ago, (during Governor Sullivan Chime second
term election) that your votes are for H.E. Governor Sullivan Chime, a man
who’s zeal and passion are to create good governance and instill virtues of
good governance in his staff. I remember stressing that your votes weren’t
meant for any of his staff rather to him, whom you all know his call for
service was divine.
I hereby state that you all shouldn’t mind the detractors
who are using my name to gain cheap loyalty, popularity and distrust towards
H.E. Governor Sullivan Chime. He still remains who I have always made you all
to believe he was (a lovely God fearing good man!). Please, do not hesitate to
ride on with him towards any direction he chooses to go.
H.E. Governor Sullivan Chime still remains President
Goodluck Jonathan’s loyal son and all thanks to Mr. President for believing in
him till date. My sincere gratitude and loyalty go to the First Lady of Federal
Republic of Nigeria, Her Excellency, Dame Patience Jonathan, for the new
opportunity God used her to bestow upon me.
The letter that was published by Sahara Reporters on
November 5, 2013 didn’t emanate from me and can never emanate from me.
Finally, please my family squabbles should be left between
Gov Sullivan Iheanacho Chime and I, which we too have left in God’s hands. It
must seize to be for public consumption. Thank you and God bless.”
