Buhari Finally Opens Up On Saraki’s Corruption
 
President Muhammadu Buhari revealed during an exclusive in-person interview with SaharaTV his feelings about Senate President Bukola Saraki and his ongoing trial at the Code of Conduct Tribunal for false declaration of assets. President Buhari, speaking with SaharaTV correspondent Adeola Fayehun, also addressed upcoming prosecutions of corrupt public officials and his ministerial appointees.
 
President Buhari told SaharaTV that his government is conducting serious investigations into corrupt officials, especially within the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) as it relates to management of crude oil sales. President Buhari said that he could not give specific details on how much stolen money has been recovered “because we could compromise the legal processes” but that “very soon the process of prosecution will start.”
 
President Buhari explained that Nigerian officials are collecting documents on the movement and sale of Nigerian crude, and those findings can be used “so that we can successfully prosecute those who have been stealing Nigerian crude.”
 
SaharaTV asked President Buhari to comment on the ongoing legal proceedings against Senate President Bukola Saraki and their relationship. President Buhari stated that his confidence in Senate President Saraki “will depend on the outcome of the court decision.”. It is the first time the Nigerian president was publicly making his feelings known about the crisis rocking the Senate.
 
President Buhari added that at the moment he works with Senate President Saraki as the constitution requires and added, “there are people [Ministers] I want to work with. 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—it is in the constitution.”
 
He then said that his role as President does not include pressuring the judiciary to drop charges against Saraki adding, “I could be successfully impeached if I do it.”
 
The interview with President Buhari then turned to current events and the controversy involving Nigeria’s Mission to the United Nations disorganization resulting in several missed opportunities and embarrassing moments this weekend during the General Assembly. President Buhari insisted that, about the meeting between international organizations and West African countries dealing with the effects of Boko Haram, “if we are not invited then we cannot be there.”
 
He emphasized in his remarks “everybody knows that we are very serious about Boko Haram. If we know there is a meeting by the international community about Boko Haram, then we will be there. So we have to be invited.”
 
SaharaTV pushed to have President Buhari reveal some information about his Ministerial picks, believed to be announced this week, but he declined to say.
 “I can’t because it would be illegal until the Senate cleared them I cannot talk to you about them.” 

He also said, “I have to discuss it with the Governors from the respective States they are coming from.”

My confidence in Saraki depends on the outcome of the vote of confidence passed the court's decision - Daura Genius (2015)

I hope the Saraki fans can see that its not about passing a vote of confidence. I knew the senators where only masturbating. This is because their vote of confidence cannot overturn the CCT's ruling cheesy cheesy

This President clearly doesn't mince his words. Without any ambiguity, Buhari has highlighted the insincerity of those confidence-giving senators by basing his acceptance of Saraki solely on his vindication by the courts and not any other trivial basis. Those belly-filled senators are products of the status-quo so their tolerance of corruption and impunity is not surprising at all.

I'm proud to finally have a President that upholds the rule of law.

Buhari acceptance or rejection of Saraki is meaningless. There is seperation of power. They both head each of the seperate and independent arms of the government.

I just fell in love with this man again cry

Wisdom and tact he applies as he speaks,
Nary a word he says is weak,
his speech though hindered by the tongue he speaks,
excites and invigorates unlike the one we kicked.

IF, AFTER READING THIS AMBIGUOUS AND RIDICULOUS RESPONSE FROM THE PRESIDENT, YOU CANNOT INFER FROM IT, THE PRESIDENT'S INTENTION TO USE THE CCB's SUSPICIOUS REAWAKENING AS A ROUSE TO ESCAPE THE DEADLINE FOR THE APPOINTMENT OF MINISTERS, THEN AM AFRAID THAT IF RAPTURE OCCURS TODAY, YOU WOULD STILL BE LOOKING FOR DIRECTIONS TO THE NEXT WHIZKID CONCERT, EVEN WITH 4 MILLION ANGELS PATROLLING THE STREETS.
