The commissioner for Information, Mr Chuks Ugwuoke in a quick press statement captioned “Chime condoles Yakowa, Azazi’s families”.

 

Chime in the said release described the deaths of the two as shocking and tragic and a monumental loss to the nation.

He admitted Gov Chime has been out of the country since September 20 but quickly added that he will soon be back to the country.

 

However a kinsman and a former aide of the governor was quoted as saying that chime is presently undergoing treatment for Leukemia and renal failure in an India hospital after a futile effort to get a therapy in England.

 

The aide who prefer anonymity recounted how in 2005 when Chime the Enugu state Attorney General and commissioner for Justice under the then Gov Nnamani underwent a heart surgery in the United States of America

 

The aide who blamed Nnamani for anointing Chime as governor having known his health history
