Politics Why I Don't Wear Uniform Since Buhari Appointed Me - Customs Boss, Hammed Ali

[ProfRem]

Comptroller General of the Nigeria Customs, Retired Colonel Hameed Ali has explained reasons why he has not been wearing the official uniform of the Customs since his appointment by President Muhammadu Buhari in 2015.

The Customs boss told the Senate Committee on Customs and Excise Duties on Thursday that tradition does not permit him to wear paramilitary uniform as a retired Colonel.



His defense prompted a stage walked out by member of the Senate Committee when Senator Dino Melaye gave an instance of ‎retired General of the Nigerian Army, Halidu Hannaniya, who wore the uniform of the Federal Road Safety Corps when he emerged as the Corps Marshal.

But Ali again maintained his stand that as a former military personnel, tradition does not permit him to wear para military uniform, arguing that Hannaniya made a mistake.

Don't you think they are trying to separate powers. Separation of powers have existed over the years in our law but once we have majority of Federal cabal at Nation's assembly, it has always been a game of zombies. I think the Senate is leading its way out of such.
