He, however, said consultations are ongoing about the possibility to pick the Director of Publicity and Advocacy of Northern Elders Forum, Dr. Hakeem Baba Ahmed as his vice.

He said, “We are talking to quite a number of people and Hakeem Baba-Ahmed is a capable hand. But I wish I could work with somebody who is younger.”

“I prefer younger people who have a lot to offer rather than recycling old hands.

“I want a competent person and I am building a formidable team.

“I want people who can look me in the eyes and disagree with me during cabinet meetings. People who have their own minds and ideas.”
