Senator Dino Melaye, representing Kogi West today championed the cause for the invitation of Comptroller-General of the Nigerian Customs Service, Col. Hameed Ali (retd) to the hallowed chamber.
Melaye expressed anger over the decision of the Nigerian Customs to collect import duties despite an order from the Senate ordering otherwise. He went on to say that he'll recommend the director of Customs for a psychiatric test if it is proven that he actually decided to disobey the Senate.

I agree with Dino for once, it's criminal to collect duty on existing vehicles, he is trying to impress the president by forcefully trying to increase his dwindling revenue. Must you impose hardship on us?
ReplyDeleteAli most go , have you all forgotten so soon !
ReplyDeleteHe was not the Ali that was involved in that saga. That Ali was Ahmadu Ali, former PDP chairman.
DeleteEven though the action of the Customs concerning collecting duties on vehicles already in the country was totally wrong, Dino Melaye is not in a position to threathen the Customs DG, because the first person to go for phychiatry test should be Dino himself, going by his behavior in and outside the Senate Chamber.
ReplyDeleteBankole Coker, you are totally wrong. The National Assembly told him to suspend his idea and come to the house for delibration in order to work out the modalities and feasibilities of his proposed idea. The custom DG did not respond to the invitation but took to the media to reject the call and insisted that the custom will continue with the plan. It is an effrontery on the DG's part. It should not be tolerated by the house. If allowed, any other office holder can wake up and do whatever they feel. Look at the case of the FRSC and the new plate numbers. Do we need any statistician to tell us that the permutation and combination of the arrangements of NN 888 AAA and AAA 888 NN will give the same result. or is there any security feature in this re-arrangements.
DeleteSo, it is high time public office holders are reminded that they cannot just woke up from their hay fever and forced their fever induced dreams on the public.
Hmmmmmmmmmm........ sycophancy of the highest orer. can you imagine/ collect duties on existing vehicle. no be madness.This Idiots and their evil agenda
