Rumours of Governor Chime's death, not true
The
rumour spreading Wednesday morning on the internet that Enugu State
Governor, Sullivan Chime has died is false, close family associates have
told elombah.com. "Mr Chime has been ill for sometime, but please, no
one should continue spreading this false story", a relative said. An internet website reported a "breaking news", that the governor passed away in India this morning leading to the news circulating on some Nigerian listserves and on facebook.
However, debunking the story family sources told elombah.com:
"What people need to know is this. In
December 2012, there was this false news report in the some newspapers
that Chime is dead. Today, they are announcing his ‘death’ again.
Knowing Nigeria, it could be the handiwork of mischief-makers. People
should be vigilant and should please not help spread the news of his
‘death’ without real confirmation from credible sources".
Another friend of the governor said: "The
pride of Igboland, Sullivan Chime [pictured below], will outlive those
wishing him dead and spreading malicious rumors. I called Emeka Chime
and He laughed it off. Death belongs to no man, only those who wish it
to others will get it soon. Long live the Governor's Governor. Some
people are wicked. The man left for UK for routine post surgery check
after at Least two postponements known to me. He spoke with his relative
this morning. I am surprised people could be spreading this callous
rumour......haters!"
