“There are checks and balances in checking for corruption. People alleging lack of progress in the fight against corruption should check what these offices have done," he said.

Meanwhile, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)'s south-south national vice chairman, Emmanuel Ogidi has said only a court can indict the party's presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar, on corruption charges.

Ogidi, in an interview with The Guardian, described Atiku as a man who loves the masses and is ready to transform Nigeria.

Legit.ng gathers that he expressed concern that the All Progressives Congress (APC) had accused Atiku of corruption; and questioned if he (Atiku) had been found guilty in Nigeria or anywhere else.

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.

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
