President Muhammadu Buhari says he does his very best to obey the constitution of the country.
The president said this when he played host to the speakers of state assemblies at the presidential villa on Thursday in Abuja.
In a statement issued by Femi Adesina, presidential spokesman, Buhari said either the constitution is obeyed or changed to reflect the realities of the country.
He said, “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.
