APC reacts to CAN's prayer protests against rising killings

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has warned people of influence in the country against making remarks that could incite ethnoreligious fracas.

In a statement obtained by Premium Times Sunday, February 2, the ruling party reacted to the ‘prayer protests’ held under the instruction of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN). APC in its statement said: “The commentaries that trail the menace of the Boko-Haram and other criminal elements are assuming a dangerous ethnoreligious slant, unfortunately, influenced by insensitive and selfish partisan narratives by shortsighted groups and individuals.” The party went on to note that people of influence should not promote the recent attacks by Boko-Haram and the assault by the terrorists is to pitch the Christian and Muslims against one another.
