Amadou Ali has returned from medical treatment abroad and was among the Diplomats received by the Head of State yesterday at the presentation of New Year greetings ceremony at the Etoudi Palace.

The presence of Amadou Ali, whose return would not circulate within the seraglio, visibly delighted the President of the Republic.

According to Quotidien Emergence on Wednesday, January 6, 2016, "everyone was aware the hexagon has been receiving medical treatment for several months."

Former Justice Minister exchanged with the Head of State before shaking his hand, particularly, in a friendly way. It was an opportunity for the Head of State to inquire about the health of newly precarious "lieutenant", the newspaper supposed.

The two men are very related, according to the daily. Moreover, it was in the company of "chief physician of the State that he was evacuated to France aboard a medical aircraft on the evening of October 15, 2015," the paper said.

This is not surprising, given that it was Amadou Ali who contributed to the liberation of Moulin-Fournier Family, kidnapped by the Islamist sect Boko Haram.

In addition to this, the former Secretary General of the Presidency of the Republic had launched in June 2014, an awareness campaign for young people of Mayo-Sava to dissuade them from giving in to the sirens of recruiters of Abubakar Shekau.

Amadou Ali also submitted his wishes for the new year and vice versa, as part of the Paul Biya's guests.
