At the meeting, PDP urged its members in the National Assembly not to be “rubber stamp members of the National Assembly.”

According to Atiku, “You are there to serve as a formidable opposition to this temporary administration.

“Based on the results announced by the INEC and pending the determination of electoral challenges in the court, our members-elect are not the majority in the National Assembly.
