Mohammed said the stakeholders described Wali as a seasoned technocrat with adequate qualifications, patience and temperament for good leadership and governance.
“The forum noted that the former SSG had been an active player in the various administrations in the state for many years, which qualifies him for continuity of the mission and vision of the state development plan,” the aide said.
Mohammed said both Buni and Geidam, the forum’s Chairman, promised to continue to engage members of the party in dialogue to entrench peace and unity in the state.
The stakeholders had, on April 24, adopted consensus as a mode for its 2027 primary elections.
