Please work for us - APC leaders beg Epe members ahead of 2019

Leaders of All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos, have again urged party faithful in Epe to work for the interest of the party and shun sentiment.

The APC leaders disclosed this on Tuesday, December 11, during a reconciliation meeting, held at Jubilee Chalet, Epe.

It came three days after Governor Akinwunmi Ambode visited the area and urged voters in Epe Division to vote en masse for APC candidates during the elections.

Ambode who is from Epe, had visited to calm freyed nerves of some residents still embittered by his failure to get a ticket to seek a second term in office during the party’s primary election.

The governor had lost the bid to Babajide Sanwoolu, who would fly the party’s flag in 2019.

Ambode, during a meeting with leaders of APC in the division, said it was time for the people to put events before and after the APC governorship primaries in the state behind them and truly unite for the party’s victory.

Ambode had said it became imperative for him to meet with the leaders to let them know that all members must submit to the decision of the party.

On Tuesday, other APC leaders came with the same message at the reconciliatory meeting.

Mr Bayo Osinowo, Senatorial Candidate of APC, Lagos East Senatorial District, urged Epe indigenes to forget the past and support the party and its candidates for victory in 2019.

“What has happened has happened; let’s forget about the past and work for the future.

“Tomorrow is looking brighter and better, the party still remains, therefore, we should all work collectively for its success,” he said.

Osinowo canvassed support for all APC candidates across the state and pledged continued development in Lagos State.

“No one should be aggrieved for any party decision, It is God’s decision because what has been destined to happen will happen.

“I, therefore, seek indulgence of all party faithful and loyalists to forget the past and work for the future,” he said.

Also, Senator Anthony Adefuye, another party chieftain, urged aggrieved party members to forget about the past and vote for the party.

“APC still remains our party; We should all join hands together to make it greater and better, ” he said.

Lanre Odubote, another leader in the constituency, urged all party faithful to rally support for the party candidates.

“The victory of our candidates is of utmost importance at this critical stage, this is the time to throw our weight behind the party candidates and ensure their victory, ” he said.

Earlier, Abdullateef Abdulhakeem, the Lagos state, commissioner for home affairs, said that God is the designer of everything in life, and what will be will surely be.

“I beg all our family and friends in Epe division that we should all forget about what has happened, let it be things of the past and move on.

“The interest of the party is paramount, let’s work and support the party agenda,” he said.

Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that the commissioner for energy and mineral resources in Lagos state, Olawale Oluwo, on Wednesday, December 5, announced his defection from the APC.

In a resignation letter dated Wednesday, December 3, and addressed to the APC chairman in Lagos state, Oluwo claimed that the party's primary election held in October was characterised by voter disenfranchisement, undue influence, violence, and intimidation to members among other activities that violate the electoral law.

Oluwo said the party lacks integrity and blamed his decision to decamp on the outcome of the controversial primary election.

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
