Enugu State Governor, Sullivan Chime Returns After 140 Days...

The Governor of Enugu State, Mr. Sullivan Chime, returned to Nigeria on Thursday after 140 days sojourn abroad where he reportedly attended to his failing health.

The governor was said to have arrived at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, from London in the early hours of the day.

Chime left the shores of the country since September 19, 2012, ostensibly on holiday but his prolonged stay abroad had attracted public angst even as many believed the governor’s health had failed. The rumour of his death indeed circulated across the country sometime ago.

There were however, conflicting reports about his whereabouts in the Federal Capital Territory.

While some people said he was at the Enugu State Governor’s Lodge, others said he was at a private residence in Asokoro.
