Umar criticises appointment of Customs boss
By Segun Olatunji, Kaduna
Published: Tuesday, 18 Aug 2009

The former military governor of Kaduna State and civil rights activist, Col. Abubakar Umar (rtd), on Monday accused President Umaru Yar‘Adua of alleged violation of principles of federal character in the appointments to national offices.
Col. Abubakar Umar condemned the recent appointment of Alhaji Abdullahi Dikko as the new Controller-General of the Nigeria Customs Service.

The former military governor, who is also the Chairman of the Movement for Unity and Progress, said in a two-page statement made available to journalists in Kaduna, that the President‘s appointment of people from his home state and Kano into federal positions without regard for due process, constituted a great danger to the unity and security of Nigeria.

The statement reads, ”Having chosen not to disclose the reasons or the considerations that guided the selection and the appointment last week of Alhaji Abdullahi Dikko as the new Controller-General of customs over and above his superiors and other peers, President Umaru Yar‘Adua had given the impression that he was unconcerned with the increasing apprehensions and anxieties the public feels about the way he is using the powers of his office.

“Without a question, the public is right and is entitled to expect that the President exercises those powers transparently and always for the promotion of the larger interests of the entire country.

”Sadly, what is apparent is the steady emergence of a disturbing pattern of nepotism, cronyism and chronic disability to treat the whole country as (his) single constituency.

“All too often, as in this instance, a high profile office falls vacant and the President rushes to locate an indigene of Katsina (or in some cases, Kano State) to fill it.”
