The leadership å Abia State chapter of thåe All Progressives Congress (APC) has expressed alarm over the effrontery of a suspended member who is impersonating its publicity secretary.

In a statement that was jointly signed byåå its Secretary, Mr. Chidi Avaja and the Organising Secretary, Hon. Obinna Atuonwu, the party specifically said that it would atake drastic measures to checkmate all impostors.

≠≠≠≠The party further alleged that Okorie has never been an elected official of Abia State Chapter of the APC nor has he ever been appointed at any point in time to act as publicity secretary.

The statement that was made available to the media at the weekend alleged that Offor Okorie was among the party members placed on suspension over their anti-party activities.

 “Okorie’s suspension by the chapter has long been ratified at the zonal level of our party, and he has ceased to be a member of the party by implication.

“His unwarranted and presumptuous claim to the office (of publicity secretary) is only aimed at deceiving the unsuspecting public,” it alleged.

The party warned that it “will not hesitate to take necessary legal steps against (Okorie) should he continue in his ignoble posturing.”

It urged both the media and the general public to avoid any dealings with Okorie in his alleged spurious claims of representing Abia APC in any capacity.
