The National Chairman of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, Chief Victor Umeh, on Monday declared plans by the party to review its constitution.
The review, he said, would pave the way for a stronger and better organised party capable of holding its own across the country.
He said this at the inauguration of a 20-member APGA Rebuilding/Crisis Review Committee, in Abuja.
Umeh said, "The constitution (as it is) is good but there are aspects of it that should be reviewed. The APGA constitution is like the Nigerian Constitution, it gives the chairman a lot of powers.
"If the chairman does not abuse it, the party will be strong; if he abuses it, the party will be in disarray."
He explained that the party's current challenges could be traced to the activities of selfish individuals who were blind to the achievements of APGA under his leadership.
Specifically, he accused one of the governors on the party's platform of being the brain behind several unconstitutional means to remove the legally-constituted leadership of the party.
He also accused those behind the plot of gross disrespect for provisions of the party's constitution.
Umeh said, "National Working Committee of the party met on May 16 and resolved to begin to build the party.
"The committee is charged to recommend ways if rebuilding the party and eliminate the crisis in the party.
"The committee is also mandated to source for and recommend credible Nigerians for appointments into the party's Board of Trustees."
He said APGA hoped to provide the needed leadership for Nigerians.
The party chief said the current leadership of the Independent National Electoral Commission had provided an improved political environment for party politics to thrive.
Umeh reiterated the party's opposition to merger but said APGA was ready to form an alliance with like-minded political parties during elections.
