Clara, the estranged wife
of the governor of Enugu State Sulivan Chime has tendered an unreserved apology
to her husband over the scandalous way she left the government house last year.
The first lady of the state is said to
have regretted her action that brought shame and embarrassment to the husband
who did everything to make her stay.
The apology that came in
form of an advertorial in the some selected newspaper portrayed Clara as a
sober woman who has learnt her lessons.
For those who do not know,
Clara had claimed last year that the governor held her hostage in the
government house against her wish. Her secret letter to the public then triggered
huge controversy that radiated beyond the shores of the land. Many people who
got wind of the development almost asked for the head of the governor whom they
labeled an animal for treating his wife in such a horrific manner.
This made the highly mortified
governor to drop a bombshell that the wife was suffering from mental illness; hence
the reason to isolate her.
After seven months of
moving out of the government house, the estranged wife is willing to go back
there with a promise to be a better person.
Below is the way she
captured the letter
To Sullivan
Chime
DEAREST
SULLIVAN,
At the beginning when all these started you were close to
forgiving me while trying hard to protect me; the look in your eyes then when
you finally realized what I had done. You didn't need to say anything anyway,
because I saw it all in your eyes- betrayal, disillusionment, revulsion. In
that moment, my- ill-health was a
challenge.
But now that I understand the gravity of what I've done, my actions
have filled me with self- loathing and remorse. It's difficult for me to look
in the mirror, and I'm not proud of the woman I see there when I do so.
I have no excuse for what has happened and saying "I'm
sorry" hardly seems to be adequate. Please find it in your heart to show
me mercy and forgive me. I have
changed so much in the last seven (7) months, after realizing our relationship is worth saving.

I usually say I can't wait to turn 30 because
then maybe I· will feel grown up. Well, I still like the thought of 30's for
some reason but not because I want to feel grown up, because my thinking has
grown so much. Obviously I
will continue learning and growing as I get older, but this has sent me into a major reality check.

I can tell you for a fact that this would
never happen in my life ever again. It's the dumbest thing
anyone could ever do, when they I think they are not happy. Because the hurt of breaking your spouse's
heart and your own is so much more unhappy, leaving things in God's hands is always the best.

There isn't a day that goes by that I don't
think of you a hundred times per day remembering your dignified personality which my actions nearly messed up. And I
am so sorry for hurting you. So, all I can do is pour my heart out to you with apologies.

In my heart I will be your wife forever.
