President Muhammadu Buhari says the Executive arm of government will continue to respect the judiciary within the boundaries laid out in the Constitution in order to strengthen the country’s democracy. “I assure you that I have tremendous respect for the judiciary,” he said. ”We can recall no such attempt by you or anyone on your behalf has been made to interfere with judicial decisions. I am convinced that as you do with the judiciary, so is the case with ministries and other agencies of government. ”We are satisfied that we are discharging our responsibilities the way the constitution wants them to be done,” the Chief Justice reassured.
