A former Vice President Atiku Abubakar says Nigeria has never been this divided along ethnic and religious lines as being witnessed today.

Atiku made the comments in Port Harcourt the Rivers state capital yesterday where he also declared his intention to run for the office of the President in the 2019 general elections.

“We have not seen 100 kilometres of road constructed by the APC Federal Government anywhere in the country,” he said, adding that the APC Federal Government had destroyed the foundation of unity and cohesion of the country.

“I have never seen Nigeria so divided along religious, ethnic and regional lines. This  division  is as a result of the mismanagement of the APC,” Atiku said.
