State Chairman of the party, Chief Ugorji Ama Oti, disclosed this in Abakaliki during a civic reception in honour of the party's youth leader, Comrade Chinedu Ogah, who was recently given a national award of Officer of the Order of the Niger, OON, by President Goodluck Jonathan.

Oti, who expressed satisfaction over the victory of the party at the tribunal, stated that there was no way the opposition political party would have been declared winner at the tribunal, considering the level
