In a communique issued after the virtual meeting, reaffirmed its commitment to upholding democratic principles and ensuring that the rule of law prevails in the country.
The communique reads, “The Forum reaffirmed its commitment to upholding the Constitution, defending democratic governance, and ensuring that the rule of law prevails in Nigeria, therefore we have resolved to instruct our Attorneys General in the PDP-controlled States to challenge Section 305 (3) of the Nigerian Constitution as amended and subject it to judicial interpretation.”
