Lai Mohammed

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.

Ayo Fayose

The All Progressives Congress in Ekiti State has described the dismissal of the 180 employees of the Ekiti State House of Assembly and permanent secretaries as part of the executive rascality of Governor Ayodele Fayose.

The party said it was an evidence of the definition of stomach infrastructure espoused by the governors deceptive administration to dehumanise and celebrate poverty in Ekiti State.

In a statement issued on Thursday in Ado-Ekiti, the state Publicity Secretary, Taiwo Olatunbosun, said with the dismissal of the employees by the leader of the seven Peoples Democratic Partys lawmakers, Dele Olugbemi, it was becoming clearer that Fayose was not a friend of the workers.

Olatubosun maintained that the affected workers were duly employed by the House of Assembly Service Commission, with statutory approval since April, 2014 with their conditions of service clearly stated. He wondered why such workers could be summarily sacked through an announcement immediately after the New Year interdenominational service without following the civil service rules.

He added that Olugbemi did not have such power to sack employees of the commission, even if he were to be the authentic Speaker of the House of Assembly.

He said, This is a legislative rascality which is a corollary of executive rascality and recklessness by the Fayose administration.

How can someone with genuine love of his people behave in a manner suggestive that he is an enemy of the people he professes to love?

But in its reaction, the PDP asked the APCs leadership to cover their faces in shame for defending irregular employment made by their government.

The state Secretary of the PDP, Dr. Tope Aluko, in a statement on Thursday, said the affected employees were without appointment letters.

New York Former Gov.MarioCuomo'slegacy as a liberal champion and powerful orator was remembered at his funeral Tuesday by one who knew him best Gov. AndrewCuomo, his son.

"At his core, he was a philosopher. He was a poet. He was an advocate. He was a crusader.MarioCuomowas the keynote speaker for our better angels," the youngerCuomosaid in a eulogy that spanned his father's background as the son of immigrants, his biggest speeches and his basketball prowess.

The former three-term governor who flirted with but never made a presidential run and turned down an opportunity to be nominated for the U.S. Supreme Court died Thursday, hours after his son was inaugurated for a second term.

Dignitaries including Bill and Hillary Rodham Clinton and Mayor Bill de Blasio gathered to mourn the 82-year-old Democratic Party icon and to honor his legacy.

Dozens of police officers stood at attention in front of St. Ignatius Loyola Church, and a pipe and drum corps played solemnly asCuomo'scasket was carried inside. Pallbearers includedCuomo'syounger son, CNN newscaster ChrisCuomo.

On Monday, hundreds waited in a line that stretched more than a block atCuomo'swake. Vice President Joe Biden, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and actor Alan Alda were among those who paid tribute.

As governor from 1983 to 1994,Cuomowas recognized for his eloquence and for powerful appeals for social justice that blended liberal ideals with his life experience as the son of an Italian immigrant grocer.

He was known for his deliberations over running for president, which earned him the nickname "Hamlet on the Hudson." He came close to running in 1988 and 1992 but decided against it.

Why? "Because he didn't want to" and loved being governor, AndrewCuomosaid in a heartfelt speech that mixed political legacy, personal memories of his "Pops" and calls to move the state forward in his father's footsteps.

Cuomowas most remembered for a speech at the 1984 Democratic National Convention in San Francisco, where he focused on an America divided between haves and have-nots and scolded Republican President Ronald Reagan for not working to close that gap.
