If I were you, at 70 I won’t be in Aso Rock” – Hameed Ali Tells Buhari

The Chairman of Buhari Support Organisation and Comptroller General of the Nigerian Customs Service, Col. Hameed Ali (rtd) has said that President Muhammadu Buhari has no reason to be in Aso Rock beyond the age of 70 but for his love for country.
Ali said this when he led the organisation to meet the president at the Presidential Villa, Abuja on Tuesday.
He said, “I have said it and I will repeat it here, Mr. President, with all due respect, at 70 plus, with a good retirement benefit and with your house in Daura, if I were you, I will see no reason to be in this arena.
“But why are you here? It is because you love this great country. You left your comfort to serve Nigeria and that is why for those of us who love you for who you are, said we must follow you and ensure that your second term in this country becomes a reality.”
He said Buhari’s three years in office have brought development to the country, therefore he must win reelection in 2018.
“Today is 2018. Way back in 2014, for those who did not know when you talked about your integrity, your achievements as a governor, as a minister, those that have gone are the ones who will understand what we are talking. Those of us who have experienced those past years know exactly what it was.
“But today, 2018, those of us here know that your being president has changed this country. Three years into your tenure, the tremendous achievements that have been made, we have laid the foundation, we have started building roads, but Mr. President, we must complete the building.
“What do we need to do? We must, as your loyalists and people who believe in this country, tell you that we are with you shoulder to shoulder and ensure that you are re-elected. And then the building will be completed so that never again will there be cause to destroy Nigeria,” he added.
