Governor Ayo Fayose has called on members of President Buhari’s cabinet not to heat up the polity.

Fayose said this while reacting to the face-off between the Customs boss, Hameed Ali and members of the Senate.

The Governor said “Governance has been reduced to a theatre of the absurd. These appointees of yours are needlessly and embarrassingly flexing muscles and are heating up the polity; they appear to be having fun and regaling themselves at the expense of the nation. The economy has collapsed and the people are suffering. There is hunger and anger never before witnessed in the land.

“Yet, Presidential appointees are preoccupied with trivialities and inanities. Wearing of uniform has suddenly become a Supreme Court matter. Why a man who will not wear uniform went to take a uniformed job beggars belief. How someone who has so little respect and scanty regard for an organisation like the Nigeria Customs Service should be made to head the same organisation must baffle right-thinking Nigerians.”

Members of the Senate had summoned Ali to appear before it in his Customs uniform, but he refused saying there is no law that states he should.
