The
Comptroller-General of the Nigeria Customs Service, Col. Hameed Ali (rtd), on
Tuesday toldPresident Muhammadu Buhari that if he were him, he would not
be president at 70.
Ali said this at the
Presidential Villa in Abuja on Tuesday when he led members of the Buhari
Support Organization to a meeting with the President.
The Customs boss said Buhari
chose to be president because of his love for the country.
Ali said his group was solidly
in support of Buhari's second term bid because of the president'sintegrity,
honesty and love for Nigeria.
He said: "I've said it and
I'll repeat it here Mr. President with all due respect, at 70 plus, with goodretirement benefits and
with your house in Daura, if I were you, I'd see no reason to be in this arena. But why are
you here? It's because you love this great country. You left your comfort to
serve Nigeria and that's why for those of us who love you for who you're said
we must follow you and ensure that your second term in this country becomes a
reality.”
The Customs boss
also told President Buhari that those complaining of hunger were lazy
Nigerians.
