President Muhammadu Buhari has re-emphasised that he respects the country’s judiciary and is willing to abide by its decisions at all times.
According to Garba Shehu, senior special assistant to the president on media and publicity, made the statement at a dinner with representatives of the judiciary at his official residence.
Buhari said he believed that the judiciary should be independent, recalling how he submitted himself to the adjudication of the courts three times on his way to becoming president without any fuss.
”I respect the institution. I have come before you three times before I got here on the fourth run for the office. Your word is the last word on any given issue,” he was quoted to have said.
