Former vice president, Atiku Abubakar, has tasked National Assembly members under the platform of the PDP to hold the Bola Ahmed Tinubu-led federal government to account while performing their duties and avoid being part of a rubber stamp legislature.
The PDP flag bearer in the last general elections disclosed this during a retreat organised for PDP members of the House of Representatives and Senators in Bauchi at the weekend, he warned the lawmakers not to be rubber-stampsfor the Tinubu government.
“Do not be part of rubber-stamp legislative arm for those who might want to govern as dictators. Hold the government to account and in doing so, you demonstrate that you and your party are ready to govern,” he said.
He alleged that the APC deceived Nigerians that it would be free and fair following the passage of the 2022 Electoral Act which makes provision for deployment of technology that would have made the process more transparent but proved to be otherwise.
He assured members of the party’s support through litigations to reclaim their mandate.
