I can be successfully impeached if I interfere - Pres. Buhari speaks on Saraki's Trial

President Buhari says he will not be interfering in the trial of the senate president Bukola Saraki at the Code of Conduct Tribunal as he could be successfully impeached if he does so. According to him, the Nigerian constitution does not permit interference between the three arms of government, that is the Legislature, Judiciary and the Executive.


Buhari said this in an interview with Sahara TV.
"What has the president got to do with another person. The case is in court. Do Nigerians expect me to tell the chief justice to tell which ever court that they shouldn't try the senate president? Do Nigerians know about the constitution of their own country? The judiciary, the legislator and the executives have got their own roles within the constitution of the federal republic of Nigeria? Then how do they expect me to interfere? I can be successfully impeached if I do it?" he said
Asked how confident he is on the senate president just as 84 senators did two days, Buhari said
"That will depend on the outcome of the court. decision".
Asked if himself and Saraki are on talking terms, he said
"Rightly. You know there are some appointments which the senate has to approve and I can't remember how many letters I personally wrote to him because it is constitutional. There are people I want to work with but I cannot work with them unless the national assembly approves. So I have been writing to the senate president and to the leader of the house. This is constitutional."he said

Do u even know that Saraki won the seat because of Buhari nonintervention in the senate? Pple like u forget too soon. But let me remind you, while APC were waiting far away from the house of assembly for Almighty Buhari, the election took place in the house. Also APC member were calling Buhari to intervene but he refused to pick their calls. That was how Saraki won. now that the table has turned you all want to blame our president? Please come up with another excuse.

@Nwa Imo Igbo people are the most tribalistic people on planet earth. So make we hear word. If u were in his shoes, u will do the same. Truth be told. Everybody wants people that will be loyal to them and people that they can trust. If u were in his shoes, would u have appointed people that u dont trust. You showed him that u cannot be trusted by the way u Igbos casted your votes against him during elections. So why are u now looking for appointment in his government?. Abeg go sleep!

How is he interfering? Let's call a spade a spade. There is no way Saraki will win this case. Mind you he won because Buhari nonintervention on the day of the election. Ain't u aware his party members were waiting for him to pick his calls while the election secretly took place at the senate?
