The head of Galmudug Cabinet Sheikh Mohamed Shaakir has welcomed President Abdullahi Farmajo invitation to state leaders meeting in Mogadishu.

“Galmudug regional state of Somalia welcomes the call by the President to state administration leaders to resolve the difference between federal and state governments,”  Press statement from Sheikh Shakir office said.

He said ” I call upon  both federal and state leaders to put the interest of the public first and resolve their differences in the negotiation table,”
