Although there were speculations that President Buhari’s soft spot for Colonel Hameed Ibrahim Ali (rtd.) would get him an appointment, no one knew he was going to be made the Comptroller-General, Nigerian Customs Service.
Col. Hameed Ibrahim Ali (rtd.) Newly appointed Comptroller-General, Nigerian Customs Service



Born January 15, 1955, Col. Ali was a military administrator of Kaduna State, Nigeria from August 1996 to August 1998 during the military regime of General Sani Abacha. Below are top 7 things you need to know about the new Nigerian Customs Service (NCS) boss.



1. The prominent figure during the military era holds Bachelors and Masters Degrees in Criminology.

2. For years, President Buhari has had a soft spot for Colonel Ali and his life style, hence the new appointment. is an admirer of Ali’s life style.

3. Colonel Ali who was in charge of the management of Buhari’s campaign funds has just one wife and four children.

4. The newly appointed NSC boss retired from the army unceremoniously when Olusegun Obasanjo was the Nigerian presidency. This, he did, without any scandalous report.


5. Just like President Buhari, Colonel Ali is a farmer, a poultry farmer that still drives a 504 Peugeot saloon car.

6. After retiring, Colonel Ali who is of steely character suitable for incorruptible values became Secretary of the Arewa Consultative Forum, a northerm lobbying group, and a supporter of Major General Muhammadu Buhari in his bid to run for president. In June 2006 Ali was reported to have said that the North would get back the presidency in 2007.

7. He was the Chief of Staff to Muhammadu Buhari before being appointed as the Comptroller-General, Nigerian Customs Service.

Really?? But he's within same age bracket as GEJ who was referred to as a youth during the last elections.

Well I don't care even if he's from Jupiter as long as he's ready to serve the nation diligently.

Ok

I'm telling you. Even some of us Yorubas are beginning to regret voting for Buhari. His government is meant for the northerners and old folks.

NORTHERNERS OR NOT, The end justifies the means

You didn't mention the fact that he was in the kangaroo court that sentenced Ken Saro-Wiwa to death?

8 He was the military head at the Saro-Wiwa Tribunal
9 He was a red headed (figuratively and literally) Kaduna State administrator as a military police
10 He dealt with the Shiite group of Al-Zakzaky and forces them out of Kaduna State
11 He visited fuel stations secretively to check hoarding and manipulation while a governor
12 He has being PMB's Chief of Staff since CPC days
13 He walks every dawn unescorted while in retirement
14 He became administrator as Lt. Colonel
15 He drove Accord '86 on retirement
16 He upgraded to a coupe Accord '98 and has being his official car for the past 5years
17 He is an indigene of Bauchi State
18 He was once a Secretary General of ACF

Provided the man can get the job done, we're cool with it

Wish him a spectacular outing.

Bose253:

At 60, he isn't too old.

I'm proudly from the North we are the only People with Integrity to lead this Nation , Southerners CAN GO AND DIE #Proudly60%

I thought PMB only just appointed a Chief of staff? And what does driving a Peugeot 504 and having just 1 wife got to do with anything!

As for me i'm watching in 20D.

Northocracy

Why not a replacement for Larmode as EFCC chairman if truly he has all these great attributes.

mr buhari jus dey carry old old pipo put 4 office.vewi soon 2 get job in naija, u gat to b old first b4 u see work

Just Get the Job done, Colonel.

If you don't like Buhari, you know what to do

PMB Nigeria is a very multi-ethnic nation so appointments should be spread across board. Other tribes also have individuals with impeccable characters.


Anyway we waiting for the ministerial lists. I hope you ll do the needful then. Nigeria shall be great again.

God bless me, God bless Nigerians, God bless Mr president.

We Yoruba's are happy with his appointment so far. We are not power hungry people. We believe in one Nigeria. It is you people from that side always look for irrelevant excuses to complain.
