'There's One President, The Buck Stops On His Table' - Garba Shehu

The Presidency reminds Nigerians that the country has just one constitution and president, and the "buck stops on his table".

Speaking on the destruction perpetrated by hoodlums amidst the #EndSARS protest, President Muhammadu Buhari's Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, said that the law must be "allowed to decide on wrongdoing on the part of anybody".

He said that the country had been harmed and that those responsible should be made to face the law.

He stated this on Sunday politics aired on Channels Television Sunday, adding that there was no particular person targeted.

“This country has only one president and has only one constitution. President Muhammadu Buhari is responsible for his government. The buck stops on his table.

“We are a country governed by law. There is a constitution —under section 33— that clearly defines the rights of citizens to freely protest in a peaceful way but where a peaceful protest turns into riot, violence, and looting, there is a law and order duty to be performed.
