APC chieftain collapses in church while addressing congregation

A tragic incident has struck the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Abia State, as the Organizing Secretary, Chief Obinna Atuonu, passed away suddenly at the age of 65. According to reports from Abia-based ABN TV, Atuonu collapsed while addressing a church congregation in Aba, the state’s commercial capital, on Sunday, April 21, 2024.

Dr. Chiedozie Atuonu, the late APC chieftain’s only brother, recounted receiving a call urging him to rush to Aba from Umuahia upon learning of his brother’s critical condition. Upon arrival, he found his brother in a critical state and immediately transported him to the hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.

The body of the deceased Abia APC Organizing Secretary has been transferred to the morgue, marking a somber moment for the party and the community alike.
