“It is true that many have questioned the relevance of the Council of State, some have even called for its abolition. But we want to assure you that this Council of State will be a Council of difference. Mr President, you can count on us day and night, we shall respond,” he affirmed.
The newly sworn-in Council of State is expected to serve as a key advisory body, providing strategic counsel to the presidency on national matters.
