Chuks Okocha considers the prospect for a mega political party that can upstage the popularity of the All Progressives Congress and the Peoples Democratic Party
The notion of a mega political party has gained momentum since the former governor of Imo state, Senator Rochas Okorocha called on a certain governor in the South-south to join him to form a new political party.
The erstwhile governor has fallen§ out of favour with his party, the All Progressives Congress (APC) and since then, he has not failed to call for a third alternative that would become the next ruling party by 2023.

A group of civil society organisations, CSOs, on the platform of the Coalition for Constitutional and Electoral Reforms, Sunday, called on the National Assembly to give Nigerians a New Year gift by ensuring the passage of the electoral amendment bill at first sitting in 2021.
The CSOs said that it was sad that the much-anticipated December 2020 target for the passage and transmission of the bill for assent by the President was missed.
Against that backdrop, the coalition stressed the need to have the electoral bill passed and signed this month, adding that doing so was instructive, so that it could be tested and used in good time for the 2021 Anambra governorship election.
