I can be successfully impeached if I interfere:- President Muhammadu Buhari speaks on Bukola Saraki’s Trial

President Muhammadu 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.
Muhammadu 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 saidAsked how confident he is on the senate
president just as 84 senators did two days, Buhari said
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.
