- Akinlade, gubernatorial candidate of the Allied Peoples Movement in the state, declared that he is the most capable candidates to take over the government from Amosun

Adekunle Akinlade, the governorship candidate of the Allied Peoples Movement in Ogun state, on Wednesday, January 2, declared that he contributed to the success story of the state governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun.

The Punch reports that Akinlade made this known during a courtesy call on the Egba Traditional Council at the Ake Palace.

Akinlade said he and his running mate, Adepeju Adebajo, were the most capable candidates to take over from the present administration adding that the state would be the pride of Africa in the next 10 to 15 years if elected.

He added that the legacy of Amosun’s administration deserved to be sustained, promising that no project started by the governor would be abandoned by his administration .

According to him, “When I met Amosun, I met a man of vision who knew what he wanted for the state. But the initial challenge we faced was finance. I was part of the history which increased our IGR to what it is today before I was given a federal assignment in Abuja.

“What you are seeing in Ogun is less than 10 per cent of the vision Amosun has for the state. Part of the blueprint is the rail project across major towns in the state. I will ensure the rail project materialises and it will be the pride of Africa in the next 10 to 15 years.

“We have the best team to take over from Amosun. Apart from my experience in the state and House of Representatives, I have a running mate who has served in many multinational companies and even the public sector.”

While seeking the blessing of the traditional rulers, Akinlade said the result of the election would not be determined in Abuja but by people of the state who were subjects of the traditional rulers.

Meanwhile, Legit.ng had reported that the Ogun chapter of the APC cautioned the state governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun, to be mindful of his outbursts against the party’s governorship candidate, Prince Dapo Abiodun.

The party in a statement signed and made available to journalists by the Caretaker Publicity Secretary, Tunde Oladunjoye, said the governor deserved to be pitied and prayed for, over his recent comments against the APC governorship candidate.

The development he said was smacked of “outgoing syndrome, emanating from political amnesia and loss of touch with reality”

The Transitional Phase of African Poetry

The Transitional Phase The second phase, which we have chosen to call transitional, is represented by the poetry of writers like Abioseh Nicol, Gabriel Okara, Kwesi Brew, Dennis Brutus, Lenrie Peters and Joseph Kariuki. This is poetry which is written by people we normally refer to as modem and who may be thought of as belonging to the third phase. The characteristics of this poetry are its competent and articulate use of the received European language, its unforced grasp of Africa’s physical, cultural and socio-political environment and often its lyricism. To distinguish this type of poetry we have to refer back to the concept of appropriation we introduced earlier. At the simplest and basic level, the cultural mandate of possessing a people’s piece of the earth involves a mental and emotional homecoming within the physical environment. Poems like Brew’s ‘‘Dry season”, Okara’s “Call of the River Nun”, Nicol’s “The meaning of Africa” and Soyinka’s “Season”, to give a few examples,

  A former Director-General of the Nigeria Maritime Agency, Buba Galadima, has accused the Asset Management Corporation of Nigeria of witch-hunt after the agency took possession of his business and assets on Tuesday in Abuja. Galadima, an ardent critic of President Muhammadu Buhari, claimed that he did not borrow money or have unpaid debt with Unity Bank, which lodged a complaint against him and occasioned AMCON’s move on Tuesday. The properties taken over include House No. 15, Addis Ababa Crescent, Wuse Zone 4, Federal Capital Territory, Abuja and House No. 4, Bangui Street, Wuse 2, also in Abuja.  Reacting to the situation, Galadima said, “This is an attempt to disgrace and break me down. This is injustice and an attempt to humiliate me. "But I am unbreakable and they can never silence me. They sacked me and over 50 people that sleep in the apartment. "We don’t know where to go. We will remain on the streets. We will remain on the streets until God provi
