“The choice of Atiku is an effort to rebuild this nation, anchored on his vast experience as a successful private investor and a God-fearing leader.

“We want all Nigerians, especially Christians to join us in these prayers by dedicating their time through their various churches to organise prayers for Atiku."

The General Overseer of Faith Way Chapel International, Rev (Dr) Sam T Alaha, who led the Special prayer session said: “It is wise for the Coalition to surrender their political program to God and it is good that the Coalition believes that all powers belong to God and whoever seeks power must come to God for blessings.

“Let me use this opportunity to call on Christians not to shy away from politics, because if Christians run away from politics, the unrighteous people will become the leaders of the righteous people.

“We will not shy away as a church from praying for whoever comes to us for prayers, and now that the coalition has come before God to seek His blessings, I will not hesitate to pray for them because whoever seeks shall receive, and whoever asks God to lead them in their campaign, God will certainly take the lead because you have asked from Him.”

Legit.ng earlier reported that the Coalition of Youth Organisations in Wurno local government area of Sokoto state said Atiku Abubakar’s claim of being an indigene of the area is false.

Atiku, the 2019 Presidential Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), during the North West rally in Sokoto on December 3, said that his background was from Wurno local government area of the state.

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.

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
