President Muhammadu Buhari has hailed the judiciary for its commitment despite various challenges.

Buhari, reacting yesterday to Friday’s acquittal of Senate President Bukola Saraki by the Supreme Court of wrong declaration of assets, said the judicial system is truly working irrespective of the challenges it is facing.

No one, he said, should therefore be allowed to undermine or break it.

“I have seen many instances where individuals and groups seek the destruction of the judicial institution in the foolish thinking of saving their skin, instead of going through the painstaking process of establishing their innocence,” Buhari’s Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, quoted him as saying in a statement in Abuja.

He added:”In the case of the Senate president, Bukola Saraki, I have seen him take the tortuous path of using the judicial process.

“He persevered, and in the end, the highest court of the land, the Supreme Court, says he is not guilty as charged.

“This is what I have done in the three elections in which I was cheated out, before God made it possible for me to come here the fourth time I ran for the office.”

The president said the Senate president’s journey from the lowest to the highest court of the land provides an important example for Nigerians to emulate

Buhari is not fighting anybody

In any egalitarian society, upholding the independence of the judiciary is a critical aspect of rule of law.

PMB has once again proved that "no one is above the law" of the land by making Saraki go through the judiciary to prove his innocence. He has also proved that he will not meddle in the affairs of the third arm of the government (the Judiciary) if it remains above board.

Baawaa:
Buhari is not fighting anybody

Indeed. Only that consequences of people's action are pursuing them.

Baawaa:
Buhari is not fighting anybody

But allowed them to use his power as a tool to fight

Let him obey the courts in totality not this vain attempt at face saving!
