The presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), Omoyele Sowore, has strongly criticised the six-month tenure extension granted to the Comptroller-General of the Nigeria Customs Service, Adewale Adeniyi, describing the decision as detrimental to professionalism and morale within public institutions. In a statement issued on Saturday, June 20, 2026, Sowore expressed his opposition to the extension, arguing that it undermines established rules governing public service appointments and promotions.
