- There are fears that the party will be sanctioning Governor Rochas Okorocha of the state, Deacon Chike Okafor and Ugonna Ozuruigbo

There are fears that the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) will be sanctioning Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo state, Deacon Chike Okafor and Ugonna Ozuruigbo, over alleged anti-party activities.

Okafor is the lawmaker representing Okigwe South federal constituency, while Deacon Okafor is the deputy speaker of Imo state House of Assembly.

Vanguard reports that feelers for the impending sanction of the APC members emerged after a meeting of APC candidates led by the party’s governorship candidate, Senator Hope Uzodinma.

Legit.ng gathers that the meeting, which was held at the new state secretariat of the party, was also attended by the deputy governor of the state, Prince Eze Madumere, and some members of the APC Coalition Forces.

Uzodinma said: “This is not just a mere anti-party activity, but an unpardonable action punishable by the extant laws of the party administration."

According to him, those involved in anti-party activities would become victims of expulsion. He described their actions as “dangerously against the goals of the party”.

Senator Uzodinma alleged that Governor Okorocha “was on the verge of turning the party to a family business”.

He said: “Those who are yet to come to terms with the reality that APC now has a gubernatorial candidate in the state, may sadly become victims of change."

He urged Nigerians to work for President Buhari's second term bid, adding that “most leaders of the South East have keyed into this project for his sincerity of purpose in the Nigerian project and wholistic re-integration of South East and Ndigbo”.

Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that Imo deputy governor, Prince Eze Madumere, may bounce back as the running mate to the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate for the 2019 election in the state, Senator Hope Uzodinma.

According to report, Madumere's role in the Imo APC Restoration Coalition otherwise known as the ‘Allied Forces’ that successfully wrested the APC structure from Governor Rochas Okorocha was said to be the biggest consideration in his choice.

Many names were said to have been presented but the choice was narrowed down to Madumere because of his calm disposition.

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
