APGA: A time for consolidation

APGA: A time for consolidation

When the Enugu Appeal Court nullified the election of Dr Chris Ngige as governor of Anambra State in 2006 and brought in the government of APGA led by Mr Peter Obi, it took him two years to plan and another two years to lay the basic foundation for the development of the state.
