National Chairman of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Chief Chekwas Okorie, has declared that the party would constitute an alternative government at the federal and state levels to act as an effective opposition to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Speaking yesterday at a ceremony in Abuja to mark the party’s first anniversary, Chief Okorie said the party would take this action if it loses its legal action presently before the Supreme Court challenging the validity of the general elections conducted by INEC.

The party’s suit at the apex court is premised on the Court of Appeal’s ruling on the Electoral Act 2002, with the party saying that consequent upon the ruling, it was legally wrong for INEC to have conducted the April elections on the basis of a non-existing law.
