The crisis in the marriage between the Enugu State Governor, Sullivan Chime and his wife Clara Chime has reached its peak following the eviction of the First Lady from the Enugu State Government House on Monday.
Clara was handed over to her mother at Coal City Garden Estate, Enugu by security operatives.continue reading..
It was gathered that the governors’ wife was said to have returned to her mother by security operatives at about 9 am.
A source at government house said she was forced into a convoy this morning and driven away by stern-looking security men.
It could be recalled that agents of the Enugu State Government had
allegedly attempted to return Mrs Clara to her mother last Sunday night
but failed because her mother was said to have travelled to her village
over the issue.
The security men, who stormed the Estate at about 9pm last Sunday,
reportedly returned with Clara to government house lodge after the
fruitless exercise.
Meanwhile, the leader of traditional rulers in Amuda, the native town
of Mrs. Clara Chime, Igwe Bob Ogbenna has kicked against the
ill-treatment against their daughter.
He disclosed that the traditional rulers in the area have concluded
arrangement to meet with Governor Chime over the development.
He expressed sadness over the manner their daughter was treated,
adding that such was not how to dissolve a marriage that produced a son.
When DailyPost tried to find out why Mrs Clara was returned to her
mother, a source at Government House said her refusal to keep mum on
sensitive and burning issues might have informed the decision to evict
her.
“You know she decided to let the cat out of the bag and she is not
ready to be silent on certain issues even when Oga himself kept quite on
the issues. You also know that Oga might have felt bad that she leaked
certain information to the press, so it possible that she was asked to
go because of these things I mentioned”, he stated.
Meanwhile, a source close to Clara said her eventual return home had
brought a sigh of relief to her as she had since lost interest in the
marriage.
According to Mrs. Clara, she was forced to remain as wife of Governor
Sullivan Chime, adding that she would have walked away from the
marriage during the period Chime was sick and away for five months, but
remained on “very compassionate grounds.”
Mrs. Chime said her thinking was that sickness would change the governor’s ways towards her, but stated that he even got worse months after his return from undergoing a cancer treatment abroad.

According to her, on many occasions she attempted to leave, 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 wouldn’t let her go.
