Ologbondiyan said: “We sympathise with the families of the people that have been killed.

“The PDP has consistently told Mr. President to review his parade. As the Commander-in-Chief, if his men in the front are being killed, he has the responsibility to review his parade, except if there is something underneath that he has not been able to explain to Nigerians.

“PDP holds that more than ever before, the time has come for Mr. President to review his parade.”

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
