Buhari Running Nigerian Gov't As A Sole Administrator — PDP's Olisa Metuh
The leading opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has said President Buhari was running his government as a “sole administrator” making important decisions on national affairs without recourse to relevant statutory arms of government.
The Party also accused the President of traveling from one country to another instead of focusing on the issues of governance, adding that he should give account of his spending since the inauguration on May 29, this year.
Addressing a press conference Sunday in Abuja, PDP national publicity secretary, Olisa Metuh said the party is making the demand because since the APC took office, the nation’s financial system in the absence of statutory functionaries has been “enmeshed in confusion, controversy and fertile atmosphere for financial sleazes.”
The PDP also accused Buhari of dividing the country’s polity along sectional and religious lines, stressing it may trigger a return of quest for ethnic and sectional self-determination.

"Our party is astounded when President Buhari unfolded to the world during his visit to U.S President, Barack Obama, his decision to administer the country on the basis of the voting pattern in the last general elections rather than on equity as stipulated by the constitution and his oaths of office as the President of the country.
“Furthermore, since the President has insisted on running his government as a sole administrator, making important decisions on national affairs without recourse to relevant statutory arms and organs of government, we are compelled to demand that this administration come out clear on its expenses since assumption of office in May in keeping with its much harped stance on transparency.
“It is interesting to note that whereas the Presidency has gone ahead to unilaterally deplete the funds without recourse to appropriate statutory arms of government, state governors are on air announcing that they have not received any form of bailout whatsoever from the center, raising serious questions on the handling of national resources.
