Excellent question!
I don't really see any of the other characters that Vito was surrounded by becoming a consigliere to him.
Sonny... too hot headed.
Fredo...well, you know.
Clemenza...a loyal worker who only follows orders.
Luca....no way.
The only two other people that could have qualified as Vito's consigliere's would be Michael or Tessio. But at the time of Genco's death, Mike wanted nothing to do with the family business. Tessio is more of a thinker and a calculating person next to the other characters mentioned above, so I would say that he would be best qualified ( next to Micahel ) out of all the characters listed above.
Maybe I forgot someone else.
