The meeting, which was at the instance of the leadership of the assembly, took place 48 hours after the president rejected the amended electoral act bill sent for his signature by the assembly.
The non-passage of the 2018 appropriation bill by the national assembly was said to be one of the top items on the agenda of the meeting.
