This man is flaunting his disdain for the senate right in their faces. His banal excuses is just an indirect way to tell them to go to hell. After, he will expect a fellow Nigerian to "obey his draculian policy on paying for duties on ten year old cars.

Sometimes, we let this holy cows misbehave unnecessarily. Let me see the reaction of the toothless senate first.

Btw, suspension of policy till when?

Col. Ali has shown us all that he's above the law. 109senate can't be disobeyed, please stepdown we have more competent hand to the job.
Moreso whats the morals you are showing the junior officers. You are telling them not be wearing their uniforms ? if you are tired of uniforms you shouldn't have opt in for the appointment.
Finger crossed, what a country.

What is your own business with his uniform. Is the uniform working or the person behind the uniform.

The suspension of the policy and failure of the Senate on integrity and moral ground gave him a leeway. Besides,he has officially informed them he won't come.
He is very smart and sees through the pettiness of the senators who are on ego trip. The Senators are suggesting that they are not as busy as the comptroller general.
The Senate overreached itself by bringing in the issue of uniform. Even if he resigns from office, the Senate has nothing to gain so why focus on less than issue.

He is a political appointee. Beside its also a tradition for army not to wear para military uniform.

LOL. The man resemble goat well well.

I respect him for having the balls to defy the Senate.

Stubborn man, learnt until recently he was driving a 504 Peugeot and 1986 Honda in Kaduna despite being a former Military Administrator.

This guy is looking for trouble though...

There are expectations of every public office. You cannot be heading a paramilitary body that requires officers to be on uniform always when you are not on uniform. He even refused honouring the Senate of the nation. Things like this cannot float in standard democracies.

If he is too big for the position, he should RESIGN!

Sorry he is not a career custom officer and the constitution does not mandate him to wear uniform so forget about that..


When Diezani refuse to honor Senate twice what did you guys do? hahahah nothing go happen to him..

The Senate sef.

It is within your powers to invite him to the Senate floor to answer to your questions,but I am a bit confused with you guys trying to force him to put on a Custom Khaki.

Is that even legal?Where are the Law Scholars here?to the writer below me,how is he proud?

This means the Minister of Health,When called has to appear in the White Doctors Scrub,and,or the Agricultural Minister is called,he has to appear in his farmers work clothes.

The Senate should be serious for once,so that we can take them serious too.


Mumu. The US Defence minister always put on his uniform. It is a right tin to associate with the body you are heading. Is it even right to place an ex-military man to head custom,what happened to ex-custom bosses?

It is good for Buhari to appoint an outsider to head NCS but it is not good for the Senate to tell him to wear his uniform.

Posterity will judge so many people.

So you are saying as an officer, it is not in the constitution to wear your regalia? don't you know thats their symbol? if he wasn't a CG how would you know he's a custom officer if he hasn't worn his uniform before. Pls be sincer and tell the IGP to stop wearing his unifom because its not in the constitution as you said.

This man is becoming too much, if Senate will be Senate, he will not survive the next 24hrs

Unfortunately, there is nothing they can really do to him beyond recommending his removal to the executive (The President). I am sure if there was something more stringent they could do, they would have explored that option long before now. I could be wrong though. Perhaps some lawyers in the house can give us the position of the law on this matter.

I really wonder why they are wasting all the time chest beating and grandstanding when they cannot base their demand for the man to appear in uniform on any law.

The man has even challenged them to cite the law or regulation that states that he must appear in the senate in uniform or that he must wear a uniform to be able to do his job effectively. We are still waiting for the Senate to respond to that challenge.

So now that the man refused to appear today as demanded, what will the Senate do about it? Will they direct the IGP to arrest and produce him before them at a later date? Can the IGP arrest the serving head of a co-equal paramilitary agency like the NCS?

The senate needs to pick its fights carefully in my honest opinion.

the subordinates have been working since his appointment without complaining why is it paining the senators...

Not true sir. The current US Secretary of Defense is James Mattis, a retired US Marine general.

He retired from the Marine Corp in 2013 and isn't required to wear a uniform.

What do you mean by "you guys"?
I am not partisan to your political brouhaha and bigotry. I speak what I see with no fear or favour.

In this case, this guy is wrong. He should honour the Senate. No one is above the government and its arms. Whether constitutionally required or not, the uniform is a sign that he takes his job seriously. He can reduce the number of times he wears it but shouldn't do away with it entirely. Can he try this in the military?
