The
Comptroller-General of the Nigeria Customs Service, Col. Hameed Ali (rtd), on
Tuesday told President 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's integrity, 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 good retirement 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.
