President Muhammadu Buhari would not interfere in the prosecution of anyone found culpable in the report of the Nigeria Police on the forgery of the Senate Standing Order.
This information was communicated to Punch Newspapers, by the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, on Sunday, July 26.
He said Buhari believed in the rule of law and would not do anything that would scuttle or undermine any judicial process.
Shehu stated that those whose job it is to carry out the prosecution, do not need the President’s clearance to do their job.
He said, “They do not need the President’s clearance to prosecute anybody found guilty of any investigation. President Muhammadu Buhari, as all Nigerians know, believes very strongly in the rule of law.
“The President will therefore not do anything that will stop the judicial process. He won’t stop it (the trial of suspects in the Senate forgery case).”
