Vanguard gathered yesterday that in a letter to the Clerk of the Senate, Nelson Ayewoh, the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, SAN, had written that Hameed Ali will not come in complete uniform because someone has gone to court to challenge the process. According to the letter, Malami has asked the Senate to hands off the matter against the backdrop that they were already in court to challenge it whether the Senate has the powers to oversight the Customs Comptroller General as well as have the right to compel him to wear uniforms. In the letter, the Attorney- General was said to have said that there was no way the Senate could force Ali to wear uniforms when President Muhammadu Buhari does not wear military uniform as Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces. He was said to have accused Senate President Bukola Saraki of not wearing his complete legislative regalia in line with legislative conventions. But reacting to the development, the Senate said that no court of law çan stop it from carrying out its responsibilities in line with the constitution and the Senate Standing Orders 2015, as amended.
