The drama unfolding in Enugu Government House has taken another wild turn as the First Lady, Clara Chime, was reportedly bundled from the Governor’s residence and sent packing in a six-car convoy to her mother’s house.
Sources close to the couple, said the First Lady had her things hurriedly packed as the Governor ordered her to depart as he was extremely upset with her spreading allegations to the media that he bribed the National Human Rights Commission to doctor its report on her well being.
Mrs. Chime had recently caused a string of embarrassment for her husband in the public sphere after she dropped bombshell after bombshell on his untoward treatment of her person. Some of the allegations include confinement, lack of proper medical care and some tabloids even reported that the Governor had sexual relations with the First Lady’s sister.
In a bid to curtail the public show of shame, Mr. Chime held a press conference which many felt was orchestrated to deflect attention from the First Family of Enugu. However the public image control measures deteriorated the situation even further until the governor was determined to push his wife out.
When the six-car convoy got to the First Lady’s mothers house it was discovered that she was not in and the First Lady and her entourage of minders had to wait over 2 hours before the Governor aborted the mission due to the information leaking to the press.
The Herald gathered that Chime would move to evict her from the government house at another time soon.
