Regarding that wicked lie against Governor Chime, please note that Governor Chime is INNOCENT. He is a VICTIM of a Smear Campaign. Please Read. A Season for Smearing our Governors: When Governors become the Hunted By Ambrose Agu Folks, the political opposition in Enugu State has now jettisoned real political opposition and is now employing the reprehensible and dishonourable tactics of outright fabrications, lies, blackmail, and demonization in its attempt to destroy the political and PERSONAL life of Governor Sullivan chime. Currently the opposition is prosecuting a terrible smear campaign against Gov Chime on the internet by circulating a false story in which they spew a tale that Governor Chime impregnated his sister-in-law. Of course this is not true. It is a complete fabrication. Period. But folks, apparently Gov Chime is not the only Governor under attack by haters and detractors. 1. Comrade Adams Oshiomhole of Edo State is also under attack! In this sordid piece Oshiomhole is accused of impregnating a teenager and even of pedophilia! See: http://elendureports.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=2373&Itemid=1 2. "Grand Pa Governor", Gov Murtala Nyako of Adamawa State is also under attack. This old man that can scarcely lift anything up is accused of "out-sexing" teenage girls (LMAO!) They even used an obviously photoshopped photo to try to support their fabrication. Click on this link to read the ludicrous / comical story direct from the purveyor: http://www.elombah.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=5571:nigeria\ \ \s-oldest-governor-murtala-nyako-in-teen-sex-escapade&catid=46:naija-gossip 3. Ex Gov Gbenga Daniel is also under attack! In this one Daniel's haters and detrators claim that Daniel is a "bestial intimate predator", and that they have used juju to destroy Gov Daniel's Mojo (joystick). Click on this link: http://www.pointblanknews.com/os1041.html 4. Gov Patrick Ibrahim Yakowa is also under attck! In this one his unGodly haters are circulating an obviously photoshopped picturewhich they claim is a picture of a Unclad Governor Patrick Ibrahim Yakowa of Kaduna State in a Same-sex Act with fair-skinned man. You can see the picture in this link but be warned that the picture is very disgusting and disturbing! But if you will brave it, then click this link: http://questionmarkmag.com/2011/01/picture-of-governor-patrick-ibrahim-yakowa-in\ \ \-Same-sex-act-real-or-photoshopped/ 5. Senate President David Mark is also under attack! In this one Mark's haters are claiming that he is messing with a married woman (Adultery)! Read the story here http://nigeriafilms.com/news/13697/9/senate-president-david-mark-spoils-actress-\ \ \chika-i.html 6. As for Gov Chime, his own haters and detractors are circulating a fake tale that he impregnated his sister-in-law. Folks, that story is NOT TRUE at all. The story is a WICKED LIE! It is NOT TRUE at all. It is a sick FABRICATION aimed to demonize and rubbish Gov Chime and smear and ridicule the entire Chime family. There is no single truth to the story. We that reside in Enugu know all the victims of this story and meet them quite frequently, and can CONFIRM that the story is a WICKED FALSEHOOD! Gov Chime's detractors are indeed vicious and terrible! This FABRICATION is a clear example of how far they are willing to go to hurt Gov Chime and if possible destroy the Chime family unity. But we must not encourage this extremism. Please disregard the silly story. And may God judge the pervert who fabricated and is circulating this falsehood! Well, I suppose all the above mean that these types of attacks come with the territory, and that any Governor or public figure should not be too surprised if and when this type of attack comes. As they say, uneasy lies the head the wears the crown. |

Still on that reference to the sicked "sex scandal" frame up, here is the response of Governor Chime to the smear. Please read: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gov Chime is Innocent , "MY SEX SCANDAL STORY – GOV CHIME", Read for Yourself MY SEX SCANDAL STORY – GOV CHIME From PETRUS OBI, Enugu Saturday October 22, 2011 Gov Chime Enugu State governor, Mr. Sullivan Chime, has at last broken his silence on the rumour that he had an affair with his wife's younger sister and got her pregnant. He said that nothing like that ever happened. According to the governor, "no girl is nursing a baby for me." Chime spoke on this as well as the contentious minimum wage issue, among other things, in a chat with newsmen in Enugu. There's a rumour that you impregnated your wife's sister. What do you have to say? Well, you can see I am here; you did not even finish the story; that was not the only thing they wrote. They wrote about the non-existing female Permanent Secretary living behind the Government House. I have tried to find out if there is anybody that fits into that description; no such human being exists. But they have written about it. They wrote how I was beaten up mercilessly. When you hear such stories, you don't even come here to ask me questions; you go and verify. The young lady they talked about, if you are interested to know, I am sure you will be seeing her around. I can tell you sitting down here that she is one of the most decent human beings I have ever seen. Why they chose to rubbish her, I do not know; if they had written about, maybe, some other people, it will make sense, but not that particular girl. I am not talking about myself; they can write anything about me; after all, you were there when I came to seek your support to be the governor. So, everything is not siren; they can say all sorts of things about me. But the truth is that no such thing happened; nothing resembling it happened; nobody had any baby boy for me. As a matter of fact, the young girl being talked about is getting married this December; she is getting married to an Onitsha man and was actually staying with the young man when they alleged she was in my home in the village nursing a baby boy for me. So, it is all nonsense. I also learnt that I bought Piccanto cars for all the girls in Enugu; I don't see Piccanto in Enugu; the car is not popular in Enugu; and they have not been able to point at least one such beneficiary; I will like to know them. You stay in Enugu and hear such stories; the first thing you should do is to look around; you look for the Piccantos, know if they exist. Some even said it is Piccanto Jeep. I don't know of any car like that. They are just writing all sorts of nonsense; taking advantage of the Internet to publish nonsense. It's unfortunately and regrettably that some local magazines have published those articles. My lawyers are at work on those ones we can reach. You can write anything on the Internet. You are on your own. That is the price we pay for occupying such offices; so whenever you see me, try and make me happy because so many things make us unhappy. Workers in your state are saying that they were not paid last month. What's the true position? First, on the observation that some workers have not been fully paid for September, I don't know if you also investigated to see if the workers worked fully for September. No responsible government will pay you for work not done; no responsible government, nowhere in the world will do that. In Enugu State, the labour leaders and their workers called for strike for no reason; they were alleging non-payment of minimum wage and we paid minimum wage, not minding that they were even on strike at the time. We used the skeletal services we had at the time and made sure we paid on the 25th of the month, as usual. It's on record that throughout the South East, and I make bold to say, apart from a few who had been paying that before, maybe throughout the country, Enugu State was the only state that paid minimum wage, as agreed in August; we are not talking for August; we paid for August in August. We did not just stop there; we also agreed with labour that we will have up to October to pay the arrears; but because of what you may call windfall, we felt we had enough to pay the arrears and we felt there was no need waiting for October to pay the arrears. We paid all the arrears in August. What we got in return was for the national leadership of NLC, TUC and whatever names they answer, to come here and take our workers for a ride. Meanwhile, these people come from states that have not paid the minimum wage and they all came here and the workers were hailing them. So, the workers went on strike for no reason. Thank God they have seen reason to go back. They wasted September; the earnings we ought to have made in September, we did not make; so we had no money to pay them. You work and you get paid; so no sentiments about it and we made it clear before they embarked on the strike; so it did not come to them as a shock. We had precedence. We begged them not to go on strike; we warned them of the likely consequences, but they chose to go on strike. So, if tomorrow the labour leaders ask workers to go on strike, I expect the workers to ask a question, like, why are we going on strike? They have wasted one month; nothing has come out of it. Now, they have gone back to work; if they like, let them continue with their strike. It is the press that encourage them; when they do something you hail them; when they came here we try to prevent them from holding a rally because, one, it's illegal; secondly, as the chief security officer, I think I have the right and the powers to stop rallies or even any gathering that will cause any kind of breach of the peace. So, we tried to do that; unfortunately they saw themselves as heroes; some television stations were showing how they were being held hostage; so they had their way, they went to address whoever they wanted to address and they went on strike. When they sneaked out of town, we did not know, until after causing the trouble. So, it is quite unfortunate; you and I must come together to make this country what we desire it should be. Labour, unfortunately, most regrettably went on strike in Enugu for no reason and thank God they have found reason to go back. I hope they continue to work and see Enugu as their state. You were said not to be interested in paying the minimum wage, but you just said you paid… The minimum wage Act is straightforward; you don't need to be a lawyer to understand it. It's a very short law, you go and read it, and we have implemented what the law says. You ask us to increase using the same percentage for every other person's salary; the least paid worker in the state before earned about N8, 500; now he or she earns N18, 500; that's over 100% increase; and you want us to increase every other person's wage, maybe including mine; we cannot afford it and no state can, not even the Federal Government. So, the minimum wage Act has fully been complied with; I am a lawyer. I can't do anything that is illegal, I assure you. Federal roads in the South East are in deplorable condition. What are you doing about it? We have always complained openly, not just myself as a governor but also my colleagues in the South East. We've complained; we've complained; we've complained. The ones we can do, we are doing with our state funds, with hope that we will get a refund. We've done a lot of federal roads, to make sure that our people at least move. We made attempts to see if they can give us concessions to build those big roads and then we will be paid later, but it didn't work; so what do you do? We have limited resources and we can't take over those roads, unless you want to waste your money there. So, it's unfortunate but we are not relenting; we are still talking to the authorities and we hope they will improve on it. The Enugu/Onitsha road is very sad because as they are working, it's failing and they want to repair it; they just built on the nonsense already built, instead of scrapping the whole thing; so it's quite sad. What have you done in the area of housing? I want to start by reminding us that immediately I took over for the second term and in forming my cabinet, we established a full-fledged ministry of housing, to show how seriously we are taking the issue of housing. It's no longer housed by the ministry of land; so we are taking housing very seriously; we are currently in the process of acquiring lands for the purposes of building new estates. The Maryland Estate, I don't know if you have been there; we have been working round the clock to make sure that place is fully developed. From one uncompleted building we met in 2007, about five have been completed and each has about 36 flats; so we are building; I think there are nine of them and in no time we should be able to complete the remaining four; so we are working. The housing corporation is also acquiring land, while the ministry of land is making land available to the ministry of housing; so we are taking it seriously. We certainly envisaged the influx of people, not because of Boko Haram, but we knew, from the outset, that making Enugu habitable would attract our brothers and sisters; they will want to comeback and stay here. What of security? We are taking the issue of security very seriously. This is the ember period and people want to make more money to enjoy Christmas, but I can assure you that no stone is being left unturned; we are doing everything possible and God willing and in no time, we shall be able to restore that peace that Enugu is known for. So, I am assuring you that we will have a very peaceful Christmas. You have been accused of handpicking chairmanship candidates for the local government election. Why should it be so? The process that produced our chairmanship candidates was transparent; it was so transparent, to the extent that we didn't shut out anybody; it was openly done. I personally went to vote for my own candidate. It happened in all the local government areas. There had to be a repeat in the few local government areas we received complaints from. So, these things were done openly. I don't see what can be more transparent than that. It is not me sitting here in the Government House and telling you that I did not handpick anybody or whatever, but the process was so transparent; we held consultations; we met ourselves; some people, on their own, withdrew from the race; others fought till the end, until they lost. I mean this is democracy; it happens everywhere in the world; it's democracy; no single candidate was handpicked and if handpicked, I will like to know who handpicked them and these things are very verifiable. It is a bit sad that people you stay with hear story about you and they believe what they hear from outside, rather than what they observe. So, no candidate, chairmanship or councillorship, was handpicked by anyone. What do you have to say about the violation controversy? This is very strange, in the sense that if you look at the age bracket of the victims, it's quite strange. The culprits, to me, should be examined. I don't think they are well; they should be sick upstairs. It's not normal; why should teenagers go after 60 to 80-year-old women, except of course we are told that all the young girls have fled the community? If not, you can't explain this. But we can assure you that government is not taking the issue of violation kindly. Of course, you know the punishment for violation; anybody caught will seriously be dealt with. It's a life jail offence; so if an 18-year-old boy wants to go to jail for life, for playing with an 80-year-old woman, so be it. It's unfortunate. |

And more and more voices have been speaking up to CONDEMN that terrible and wicked FABRICATION which Governor Chime's detractors have been spreading about Gov Chime in the media, particularly the internet. Here is a one such condemnation by ALL the civil society organizations in Nigeria. Read the news item below: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Report on Governor Chime's `sexual escapade' malicious – Group October 25, 2011 www.blueprintng.com By Raphael Ede The Network of Civil Society Organisation of Nigeria has described the report on the alleged sexual escapade of Governor Sullivan Chime of Enugu state, posted on the internet as baseless, malicious and campaign of calumny against the governor. The nextwork, which is an umbrella of body of over 120 civil society and non-governmental organisations in Nigeria, stated this in a press conference held at the NUJ press Centre in Enugu, stressing that the story authored by online news hub Sahara Reporters was malicious. In a communiqué signed by the secretary general and publicity secretary, Dr. Nwambu Gabriel, and Comrade Kalu O. Victor, respectively, the group stated that there is no rancour whatsoever between the governor's wife and any cabinet member of his government. "There exists a cordial relationship amongst all staff of the Government House, devoid of bitterness, acrimony or ill feeling," it said. |

The 'Guiltying' of Innocence , Woe to anti-Chime Hate Cultists! Folks now you have heard it from the man himself. Gov Chime has spoken. That whole "impregnation story" was a LIE! A baldfaced fabrication by Gov Chime's detractors. A very, very wicked and pernicious, malicious, hateful, demonic and deadly slander. By that terrible story the Chime detractors went for Gov Chime's jugular. They reasoned that since Gov Chime's performance as Governor is unassailable, perhaps then they should attack and destroy his character, his reputation, his name, and his family unity. And boy they sure tried to do that with that terrible story. But in the end good always triumphs over evil. We thank God that Gov Chime finally addressed the press on this matter because at a point those haters began to tout Gov Chime's ignoring of/ silence on the matter as "evidence" of "guilt". So we commend Gov Chime for finally addressing this matter, and getting it out of the way. Now, to those haters who concocted and spread this very wicked, terrible LIE and caused another human being (Gov Chime) and his family so much trouble and pain for no just cause, in the name of the people of Enugu State I say to you:May God judge you for this evil that you have done. And may Heaven and Earth contend against you, FOREVER, if guilty! |

Sorry for digressing from the topic at hand to the matter of the fake "sex scandal". I stepped in to clear the air on the fake "sex scandal" matter only because another poster had made references to it. So now please feel free to revert the discussion back to the topic at hand which is: "An Open Letter To Senator Adetumbi - 'Enugu Is Not Bankrupt'". Thanks. |
