I try as much as I can to obey the constitution, says President Buhari

President Muhammadu Buhari says he tries as much as he can to obey the constitution of the country.

The president said this on Thursday when he received speakers of state assemblies at the presidential villa in Abuja.

In a statement issued by Femi Adesina, presidential spokesman, Buhari said the constitution must be adhered to, or altered to reflect dynamics and realities of the country.

He said the autonomy of state legislature has been constrained by the constitution.

The president asked the lawmakers to always put the interest of the people first in all deliberations and negotiations.

“I try as much as I can to always be loyal and obedient to the constitution so long as it is humanly possible,” Buhari said.
