Top officials of the ruling People’s Democratic Party, PDP, in Enugu State are now blaming some members of the National Assembly, NASS, from the state for orchestrating the alleged claims that Governor Sullivan Chime had illegally detained his wife, Mrs Clara Chime at Government House.
Some of the PDP leaders who spoke to Saturday Vanguard on the condition of anonymity said that some NASS members had been fighting Governor Chime since he made a public announcement that most of them would not go back to their positions, having served for over three tenures because of the internal zoning policy of the party.

Chime was quoted as having said at a PDP rally that there was an agreement with NASS members that those who had represented their people for two or three tenures (between eight and 12 years) should give way for fresh blood just as he ceded the forthcoming 2015 governorship seat in the state to the Nsukka zone.
Chime who hails from Enugu West Senatorial zone where the Deputy Senate President, Chief Ike Ekweremadu also hails from, would be completing his two terms of four years each in 2015 after his predecessor, Dr Chimaroke Nnamani who is from Enugu East Senatorial District also spent eight years in office, bringing the total to 16 years.
