The All Progressives Congress has asked President Goodluck Jonathan to stop bemoaning the widening ethno-religious gap among Nigerians, saying the President was Nigerias most divisive leader.

The opposition party said that the citizens were today more divided along religions and ethnic lines than ever before.

The party said this in reaction to comments by Jonathan, at a meeting with members of the Northern Elders Council in Abuja, that some of our elder statesmen had been making inciting and divisive statements capable of polarising Nigerians along ethnic and religious lines.

The APCs reaction was contained in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, in Abuja on Thursday.

Part of the statement read, Mr. President, there is no point being sanctimonious about an issue for which you bear the most responsibility.

You are the most divisive leader in the history of Nigeria, having ceaselessly exploited the countrys fault lines for political gains.

Where was President Jonathan when his spokespersons and party members sought to portray all adherents of a particular faith as terrorists?

The APC said Jonathan was the countrys first leader to turn the house of worship to a political arena, using the pulpit to make political and policy statements and making a show of what should ordinarily be a very personal religious affair.

It added that the Presidents belated lamentation is aimed at pulling the wool over the eyes of Nigerians with a view to extracting undeserved political gains, especially a few weeks before next months elections.
