The opposition has responded by calling on Nigerians to boycott the conference, arguing that it lacks legitimacy. The opposition, grouped in the Pro-National Conference Organization (PRONACO), a new umbrella coalition of political parties and human rights groups, has said it would convene an alternative national conference in June.
反对派已经做出回应，以缺乏合法性为由呼吁尼日利亚人抵制这次会议。政党和人权组织新的保护联盟国民会议组织（PRONACO）中的反对派也已经分成了不同的小组，并提出要在6月份另行召开国民会议。
