Lost Senatorial Bid: Chime Wars With Kitchen Cabinet by otil1(op): 4:26am On Dec 24, 2014
The last is yet to be heard of Chime's inability to actualise his senatorial ambition. He appears to have turned to vent his frustration on his kitchen cabinet and Mrs Nwobodo, the power woman and Chime's strongest ally is billed to taste a bitter version of Chime for being part of Chime's woes, even though she also failed to clinch her own ticket.

Madam or "mummy", as she then was known, was also touted as being most loyal and competent Chime's kitchen staff. In fact, she was so powerful that the entire Chime's success in the administration was attributed to her famed administrative acumen. Unfortunately, today she is being blamed squarely for the many failings of Chime especially his inability to maintain much needed interface at the national level, the lacking essential ingredient for political success which eventually led to Chime's final political doom.

Chime orders recovery of ex-Chief of Staff, Nwobodo’s official vehicles, withdraws her security aides

Posted in:Featured, News, Politics
The face-off between Governor Sullivan Chime and his erstwhile Chief of Staff, Mrs. Ifeoma Nwobodo, may have deepened as seven official vehicles she took away while leaving the office in October were recovered on the orders of the governor Tuesday.

Mrs. Nwobodo, who was the most influential member of Chime’s cabinet, resigned in October to enable her contest for Enugu East Senatorial seat.

She, however, lost the Peoples Democratic Party. PDP, ticket to incumbent Senator Gilbert Nnaji, whose seat she was determined to occupy.

There had been speculations that Mrs. Nwobodo had been having a running battle with the governor over her failure to clinch the senatorial ticket but this could not be confirmed b before the governor’s security aides and Government House drivers reportedly stormed her GRA residence Tuesday afternoon.

Sources at the Enugu Government House told ADVOCATE NIGERIA that the governor gave a directive to his security details to recover all the official vehicles used by the former Chief of Staff.

The security details were said to have gone to her house with some drivers who were assigned to bring the vehicles back to the Government House.

It could not be ascertained if she put up any resistance when told about the governor’s directive.

The source said that the policemen that were attached to her when she was in office and who had continued to guard her residence and serve as her escort, have also been withdrawn.

Officials of the state government contacted on the development confirmed that there was a directive to recover some of the vehicles used by the former Chief of Staff to the governor.

‘It would be recalled that eight vehicles were recovered from the former State Deputy Governor. Mr. Sunday Onyebuchi after he was impeached.

Her supporters are awfully quiet! Chief said this, chief said that, chief has instructed this, chief has instructed that. Bunch of ignoramuses, idiots and imbeciles that could not hold their own in business and decided to be slaves to a mere former hotel staff. Thunder fire them all including the woman.

Firm sources indicate she has decided to join Chimaroke, not to contest any post under his PDC, but to spite Chime and also ensure that her sworn opponent, Gil Nnaji, who is with the PDP senatorial ticket, fails. We are watching.

Ifeoma Nwobodo was like a monster created by Chime. He used her to subdue everybody and the woman made so many enemies. I often wondered how she was going to make it through the general elections because she was so hated in Enugu.

Chime placed the office of the chief of staff above his deputy and the secretary of government, Amaechi Okolo shivers when talking to her and openly addresses her as "mummy".

Chime encouraging or allowing her to go for the Nkanu senate seat was meant to spite his predecessor, Chima and (as he initially planned it), to also demonstrate his political strength over and above Chima. He meant it to be his final political signoff, but alas, it was not meant to be. Chime has ended up as a very inferior politician when compared to Chime, now that he has failed to ferret himself to the Senate.

Now that things have fallen apart, Chime is looking for a scape goat -someone to blame for what he created in the first place. That's cowardly.

In his second term, he supervised a government in which virtually all cabinet members where contesting one post or the other:

He was vying for senate, his deputy was also eying senate only to clash with madam chief whom he had reserved the senate seat for. The party chairman was going for governorship only to later step down and head for house of reps. All the sins of Chime's commissioner for land, Emeka Ujam was overlooked because he had pencilled him down for House of reps in Nkanu. His man Friday and chief gossip, Jude Akubilo was gunning for house of reps Udi/Ezeagu which Commissioner Chijioke Agu and Commissioner Joe Mmamel were also eying. Meanwhile Gov Chime was quietly, behind, preparing some of his inlaws and relatives for some of the posts, like in Awgu where his son inlaw, marrying his first daughter was pencilled down for house of reps, another in law and local govt chairman, Ike nike was also going for rep seat in Iiuzo while his nephew who he made deputy speaker of the state house of assembly was to be uplifted to take Enugu north/south rep seat.

Chime proved himself an opportunist and lead even a greater band of opportunists. Summary, government performance suffered, not much progress achieved beyond paving roads.

And what is the result? With many of them working at cross purposes and undermining one another, they all failed!

Next, they will start to expose themselves -all the inner dealings and shenanigans. Its just a shame

She can join anything for all we care, the next line will be to divest her of every kobo. Now this should be a lesson to everyone that believes in poverty alleviation. When you see someone who is down and waiting for the count with no dream of his or her own to pull themselves out of the rot,let them stay the hell down. If you offer them an express road to power and fame and money without the hard work that goes along with it, you will find out rather rudely that you have created a monster. That goes for this woman all all the other urchins this government pulled out of the abyss. Just look at the other one at ministry of lands and you will begin to see the damage these characters have caused. But The Lord guaranteed us that we shall see the punishment of the wicked, and it is already here. Merry Christmas people!"

"Sounds like the chick has been impeached finally. Chime has perfected the art of impeachments. For his deputy, it was "chicken impeachment"; for his former chief of staff, I guess it is okay to caption it "chick impeachment". 

But what do you caption what happened when Chime lost out to Ekweremadu? I'll call it "impeachment in chief"...lekwa ochi leem (lol).

Some of you might remember me from the days of the Deputy governor’s impeachment. This woman was blinded by power and her over zealousness. She impeached the most peaceful, respectful deputy governor of Enugu state based on very flimsy excuse because she was afraid he will run for the senate. Now she too is being disgraced and humiliated and now the deputy is standing tall and i am sure smiling. My people what goes around, comes around. Ifeoma Nwobodo you haven’t seen anything yet. Karma is bitch. Onyebuchi your God is fighting for you.

Guess what? The next thing is to redeploy her to Nike Lake. I dey laugh oooo. Karma is a bitch my people

My People, America says----"WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND."   I am not to judge any body, but rightly if anybody takes a voluntary resignation from an office, the one by all means should also return every bit of official property in the one's possession that belongs to the establishment where the one worked; but for an individual to be in possession of such a number of vehicles at a time, to me is questionable. On the other hand, I guess, Governor Chime did what he is supposed to do for the interest of record and accountability. 

Ogbuzuru.

This woman, this hotel staff never realized the transient nature of power when she was playing God in her Chief of Staff position. The God of thunder, the law of karma and the murky water of Politics have collectively dealt her a big blow! The evil that (we)men do lives after them. I dey laugh o o o. Sunday Onyebuchi congratulations! You have won.
