The governor also said the constitution of new caretaker committee chairman was the decision of the party’s stakeholders which has in attendance two past governors Abdullahi Adamu, Umaru Tanko Al-Makura, and the immediate past governorship aspirant Aliyu Wadada and others big wigs of the party in the State.
The governor also explained that the need to allow all other executives to continue was because of the good work the leadership is doing for the party in the state.
John Mamman was until his appointment the special adviser to the governor on Local government and Chieftaincy affairs and community development.
