Enugu State, yesterday, opened up on his condition, saying he is in
good health and will soon return to the country.The governor spoke
while receiving three governors, who visited him in London, United
Kingdom where he is recovering after an illness.
The governors were led by Chairman of the Nigerian Governors Forum,
NGF, Governor Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers State; Governor Godswill
Akpabio of Akwa Ibom State and Governor GabrielSuswam of Benue State.
The governors in separate views, attested to Chime's state of well
being.The visit of the governors coincided with unprecedented
speculations on thestate of Chime's health.
Chime while responding to rumors of hisill-health said: "I am alive
and well, I will be back very, very soon."
Asked how he felt, the governor in a very strong, cheerful voice said:
"I am great, very, very great. Tell Nigerians to discountenance all
the rumours about my health."
Speaking on Chime's health, Amaechi said: "We saw him in an atmosphere
of recovery. We were able to go out with him, he is in good shape and
is getting ready to come back home very soon. Wethank God for what He
has done, how He has helped him to recover."
Suswam in his own assessment said: "Chime has been discharged from the
hospital. He has recovered fully and is physically okay. I was
impressed with what I saw. We walked around together, ate together and
he is going about on his own."
Also speaking on their encounter with Chime, Akpabio said: "He has
recoveredtremendously, I am very happy and I give glory to God. This
our visit to him and the fact that he was able to speak with Vanguard
has put paid to all the rumours. Nigerians should learn how to pray
for their leaders instead of ganging up through NGOs and groups and
wishing them evil. We are all human beings. As humans, we can break
down anytime which means we should be sympathetic with our leaders
when theyface challenges whether health wise or security wise. We
should pray for them instead of wishing them bad."
