Spidermon:
Did his camouflage dressing bear the Nigeria flag, coat of arms or any rank insignia? Did he by virtue of words or action claim to be a military man?

How many head of states or governors on the world have u seen doing that in a democratic government while on official duties?

I am not excusing him of breaching dressing etiquette.

However, I dont see it as impersonation as being suggested by some people.

Apart from Africa, do we see civilian presidents feel the need to wear military ceremonial dress ?

Why are u digressing. I wss addressing someone who i know supported and never saw anything wrong in Fayose dressing like that but suddenly has a problem with the custom bus not in uniform.
Many countries in Africa are dealing with internal insurgency. And many African countries forbid any form of Military camouflages on civilians in their Constitution

obamabinladen:
Why will he wear customs uniform, is he a trained custom officer. Useless senators that allowed buhari to be making useless appointments.


You can imagine a retired Army officer leading the custom without a board and refusing to be wearing customs uniform the same way buhari was leading Nigeria without ministers.

No wonder jollof rice, Egusi soup pump action guns are been imported under him.

You are pained because your arms container intercepted? Uniform or no Uniform. The man is disturbing...

Fedayeen02:
A military man heading Custom because of the corruption there but till now we have not seen any major change there

No major what? Lolz. It seems you are blind if you've not seen any changes. Ask any customs officer that has been in service since. Hypocrisy

godfatherx:
What is the significance of the uniform?
So the 2 useless senators abandoned a meeting where millions has already been spent to organise and nothing meaningful will come out of the meeting.

Mtcheeew!

Because is not Buhari or Tinubu that walked out. Change means people not Nigeria.

Lols, only one was intercepted what of others and where was he when it was cleared. Who signed the documents.

progress69:
No. But if Military fatigue is meant for the military, is it now out of place for a civilian governor ti wear such in a democratic government to perform official functions?

You have the same reasoning with buhari, always diverting attention from the issue at hand and blaming the opposition for everything.
You are now blaming Fayose for a custom CG that have no board members. I spit at your stupidity.

Realdeals:
That's what they wanted to achieve, they know he don't wear the uniform and should have told him to do so in the invite sent to him. Maybe the impounded guns belongs to them or their cronies.

You are right. Those confiscated arms belongs to them. It pains them.

I'm assuming the laws of the land permit the president to appoint him the CG, but I don't think it'll be proper for him to wear the Customs uniform. He's not a career customs officer, he did not rise through the ranks, and having been in uniform myself, I can assure you it won't sit well with those who earned those ranks. You can be appointed to a position, but ranks and even the right to wear a uniform is earned.
However, there's no reason he should have operated for this long without a board. Being an outsider, he needs the input of the career officers more than anyone else. A one man show in such an important national agency is typical of the dysfunctional Buhari led government.

247Dior:
I know you're a kid but listen when elders are talking.... he's on official duty and must be on his uniform, ever since bugarri appointed that man I've never seen him on uniform... is he above wearing it?

most comments on nairaland land are irritating but urs got to me. U r grossly uninformed. Maybe u think that man is a career customs officer. U need to follow events. It's even illegal for him to wear customs uniform. This is a retired military officer appointed from outside customs to head customs. U think it's stubbornness that he doesn't wear it. Really most people in this forum are uninformed. He just can't wear that uniform. The truth is that his appointment is abnormal. That was where Senate should have come in. But they kept quiet. Talking about the board, please who appoints board members, President or heads of parastatals. Get informed before u comment. The senators were out for something.

U see how sick u sound with ur double standards? So this is where u want to spin it though, after failing woefully to prove ur sense beyond reasonable doubt. Its a pity!

I raised two points that's, not wearing uniform and not having board members. You ignored the later. BUT WHY?.
