APC Allegedly Sacks Publicity Secretary For Congratulating Soludo

The Anambra State chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC, has sacked its public secretary, Mr. Okelo Madukaife over alleged anti party activities, including congratulating the winner of the just concluded governorship election, Professor Charles Soludo.

The state chairman of the party, Mr. Basil Ejidike stated this at a press briefing in Awka. He said that Okelo was suspended in June this year and therefore has no reason to be parading himself as an official of APC.

But the embattled publicity secretary said the chairman is on his own, adding that he has been performing his duties as the spokesman of the party.

According to the party chairman, Okelo has continued to parade himself to the public as publicity secretary to the extent that he appeared on a national television to congratulate Prof Chukwuma Soludo as the winner of the governorship election when the party hierarchy was still studying the outcome of the exercise.

When contacted on the telephone, Madukaife said he remained the state’s  publicity secretary.

He said: “I am still  doing my work very effectively;  discharging my duties as the publicity secretary of the party in the state.

“Our party cannot be sold to anybody. Our position that  there were no governorship primaries in Anambra as stated by our chapter remains firm, fixed and unshakable. It’s the  truth registered in the minds of all members of APC in the state.

“Ejidike is on his own. The whole chapter has discovered that he is a sellout; We have been managing him for the sake of our own image”.
