Abdoul Ramane Seydou volunteered for the Nigerien Armed Forces in 1967 after completing primary and secondary school . He attended the officer candidate school in Bouaké from 1975 and was appointed second lieutenant and deputy commander of the presidential guard of Seyni Kountché in 1977 after his return . In 1983 he became deputy commander of the 7th motorized Sahara company and in 1985 commander of the 1st tank squadron. He had held the rank of captain since 1984 .

Seydou was first appointed military attaché at the Niger Embassy in Paris in November 1987, and then on November 20, 1987, shortly after the death of Head of State Kountché, Minister for Youth, Sports and Culture. In May 1989 he took part in the founding congress of the MNSD-Nassara unity party, where he became youth party secretary. In 1990 he received the rank of major in the armed forces . Seydou lost his ministerial office when the national conference, which was preparing the transition to a multi-party system , overturned the MNSD-Nassara government on September 10, 1991. He was promoted to head of the 3rd Office of the General Staff of the Armed Forces in 1992 and commander of the Republican Guard and promoted to lieutenant colonel in 1995 . He was also elected Vice-President of the national football association Fédération Nigérienne de Football in 1995 .

Abdoul Ramane Seydou was involved in the military coup of January 27, 1996, in which the democratically elected but deeply divided political elite were ousted: President Mahamane Ousmane ( CDS-Rahama ), President of the National Assembly Mahamadou Issoufou ( PNDS-Tarayya ) and the Prime Minister Hama Amadou (MNSD-Nassara). Seydou was a member and spokesman for the Council of National Welfare , the twelve-member military junta chaired by Ibrahim Baré Maïnassara , which ruled the country until December 1996. From February 11, 1996 he was initially Deputy Chief of Staff of the Nigerien Armed Forces, until he was appointed Minister for Youth, Sports and National Solidarity on August 23, 1996. He held this office until November 24, 1997. The coup leader Baré Maïnassara remained in power as president and founded the RDP-Jama'a party in August 1997 with Abdoul Ramane Seydou as general secretary. On December 1, 1997, Seydou again took over the departments of youth, sport and national solidarity in the Nigerien government with the honorary rank of Minister of State. His term of office ended on April 9, 1999 when the government was overthrown by the military coup led by Daouda Malam Wanké . In June 1999 Seydou also lost his office as General Secretary of the RDP-Jama'a, which he regained in January 2001. He retired from the Nigerien Armed Forces in June 2001.

In the government of President Mamadou Tandja and Prime Minister Hama Amadou (both MNSD-Nassara) formed on December 30, 2004 after the parliamentary and presidential elections in 2004 , Seydou became Minister for Youth, Sports and Games of Francophonie . Niger hosted the 5th Francophonie Games in 2005. Seydou remained a minister in the subsequent governments formed on March 1, 2007 under Prime Minister Hama Amadou and on June 9, 2007 under Prime Minister Seini Oumarou (both MNSD-Nassara) for youth and sport. In 2008 he was voted out of office as Secretary General of the CDS-Rahama. He was followed by Sani Abdourahmane in office. The African football association Confédération Africaine de Football disqualified the Nigerien U-17 national football team from participating in the U-17 African championship in 2009 , when it turned out that the player Boubacar Talatou was not, as stated, 17 years old, but 22 years old old was. Even if there was no official connection to this affair, Abdoul Ramane Seydou resigned. His successor as Minister for Youth and Sport was on May 14, 2009 Salou Gobi .
