If president Buhari is able to claim as part of his anti-corruption credentials that he allowed the prosecution of some one high up the food chain as the Senate President, that would be good for him. But it is equally good for him to be able to claim that he ensured that Justice is done and seen by all to have been done.  After all, by swearing to defend the constitution, he was swearing to protect the rights of all citizens as guaranteed by the constitution. If we contend that no citizen should be above the law no matter his status,  we must also insist that no citizen should be treated beneath the minimum standards set by the laws for equity and justice no matter their status.  If President Buhari intervened in the flagrant judicial lynching of Dr. Saraki,  he would neither be meddling nor doing anyone a favour;  he would simply be doing his job.
