2019: It will take God to convince Imo people to vote for Uzodinma - Okorocha declares

- Imo state governor, Rochas Okorocha, says it will take God to convince the people of Imo state to cast their ballots for Senator Hope Uzodinma in 2019

- Senator Uzodinma is the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress for the forthcoming general elections

- The governor made the assertion in a statement signed by his chief press secretary, Sam Onwuemeodo

Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo state has said it would take God to convince the people of the state to vote for the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Hope Uzodinma, in the 2019 general elections.

According to a report by Sahara Reporters, the governor made the assertion in a statement signed by his chief press secretary, Sam Onwuemeodo.

Legit.ng gathers that Okorocha said it would be impossible for anyone to vote for Uzodinma, adding that it would be easy for President Muhammadu Buhari to coast home to victory in the forthcoming elections.

The statement by Onwuemeodo read: “It would require God talking from heaven and telling Imo people, “Chief Hope Uzodinma is my beloved son in whom I am well pleased” before Imo people could consider changing their minds. If not, Imo people know those who cannot be their governor. Chief Uzodinma knows this fact and he should stop using the governor to deceive his sponsors.”

The statement continued that: “Adams Oshiomhole’s preferred governorship Candidate for All Progressives Congress, APC, Imo State, Chief Hope Uzodinma, has launched repeated media campaign of calumny against Governor Rochas Okorocha and giving the impression that his problem as the gubernatorial Candidate of Imo APC is the governor."

The governor said he is not the problem of the APC governorship candidate, adding that the latter's problem was self-inflicted.

Okorocha stated that Uzodinma has a problem of how to convince the people of Imo state to vote for him in 2019, adding that the candidate has been banned from travelling out over allegation of treasury looting.

The statement added: “He is in Court over 12.5million dollars Contract. That does not concern Rochas. He is in Court for asset declaration issue. That has also nothing to do with Rochas.

“Chief Uzodinma is also in court over issuance of Dud Cheque. This matter also has nothing to do with Rochas Okorocha, among other similar cases. It is also not an oversight that the APC candidate has not made his profile available for people to see.

“Before now, Chief Uzodinma never attended any APC meeting in the State. He has never visited the governor either before or after he was handed over the ticket of the Party.

“Chief Uzodinma went to the Senate in 2011 through the Court. In 2015, he knew how his victory also came. But this time, it is going to be a different ball game with strong governorship Candidates in AA, APGA, PDP, AP, LP, SDP, etc. Ahmed Gulak style or the 2015 stampede won’t be the case in 2019."

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,

The pioneering phase of African Poetry

The pioneering phase We have called the first phase that of the pioneers. But since the phrase “pioneer poets” has often been used of writers of English expression like Osadebay, Casely-Hayford and Dei-Anag, we should point out that our “pioneer phase” also includes Negritude poets of French expression. The poetry of this phase is that of writers in “exile” keenly aware of being colonials, whose identity was under siege. It is a poetry of protest against exploitation and racial discrimination, of agitation for political independence, of nostalgic evocation of Africa’s past and visions of her future. However, although these were themes common to poets of both English and French expression, the obvious differences between the Francophone poets and the Anglophone writers of the 1930s and 1940s have been generally noted. Because of the intensity with which they felt their physical exile from Africa, coupled with their exposure to the experimental contemporary modes of writing in F
