During today's meeting, it was discussed that four resolutions would be further addressed in the upcoming management board meeting.
One resolution proposes Mr Rabuka stepping down as Prime Minister, with Manoa Kamikamica poised to assume the role.
Mr Radrodro, unaware of the reason behind his dismissal, heard it may be related to the removal of the then Fiji National University Council Chair, Dr Kesaia Seniloli.
He added that Mr Rabuka wanted him to reinstate Dr Kesaia.
