currently rocking the
Enugu government house.
At the centre of the sex
scandal is the state
governor, Sullivan Chime
and his sister-in-law, Ebere
Igwe. Ebere is the younger
sister of Clara Chime, the
governor's wife and first
lady of Enugu state.
It was reliably gathered
from sources in Enugu that
a secret romantic affair
between Chime and his
sister-in-law has recently
produced a baby boy.
A source in Enugu
Government House
disclosed that the affair
between Governor Chime
and Ebere, started shortly
after he married Clara in
October 2008.
The lavish traditional
marriage held at Isuochi
home town of the Igwe's
costed the state
government a fortune, not
minding the fact that
Chime was marrying Clara
as a second wife, having
divorced his first wife from
Ogakwu family in Udi
town where he hails from.
After the ceremony, Clara
moved into the Governor's
lodge with her younger
sister, Ebere who just
graduated
fromAbiaStateUniversity.
Unknown to the first lady,
this was the beginning of
an affair between her
husband and Ebere.
Few months after, the first
lady noticed that the
Governor was always
eyeing Ebere, and became
suspicious of them. Not
wanting to lose her
husband to her younger
sister, the first lady
suggested that her sister
should go abroad for her
masters degree.
However, by the time
Ebere left the country for
her post graduate
programme abroad, she
was already into a deep
relationship with the
Governor.
She benefitted a brand
newToyotacar and
frequent overseas trips
from the relationship
which continued even
while she was studying
abroad.
The affair however blew
open sometime last year
when Ebere returned to
the country after her
studies abroad and told
the first lady that she was
pregnant for the governor.
According to sources, Clara
was so shocked to the
point that she became
emotionally wrecked.
The first lady was taken to
Rev. Fr. Njoku's Upper
Room Ministries at Emene
Enugu for prayers and
later, her mother took her
to a native doctor who
succeeded in stabilizing
her mind, even as the
governor turned a blind
eye to her situation.
The first lady thereafter
told her younger sister to
abort the pregnancy, but
she refused. The first lady
reportedly sent thugs after
her younger sister, and
when the governor got
wind of the plan, he made
special security
arrangements for her.
To make sure that the
pregnancy was not
tampered with, the
governor sent Ebere to
theUnited Stateswhere she
eventually delivered a
baby boy recently.
However, the first lady
swore not to allow her
younger sister into
government house again.
Ebere's whereabouts
remain unknown,
although an unconfirmed
source said that she is
nursing the baby at the
governor's Udi country
home.
The scandal has forced the
first lady to maintain low
profile to the point that
she sends either the wife
of the Secretary to State
Government or Speaker of
the House of assembly to
represent her in public
functions.
