2019: Adamawa APC in disarray as Ribadu vows never to campaign for Bindow

- Trouble is brewing in the Adamawa state chapter of the APC ahead of the 2019 general elections

- Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, the former EFCC boss and APC chieftain has vowed never to campaign for the state governor

- Ribadu was recently appointed as the director, fields operations in the Buhari campaign council

Trouble is brewing in the Adamawa state chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) ahead of the 2019 general elections as a chieftain of the party, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu has vowed never to campaign for the state governor.

Ribadu, a former chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), was recently appointed as the director, fields operations in the Buhari campaign council.

Ribadu had pulled put of the Adamawa governorship race under the APC last year, accusing the governor of manipulating the mode of the party's primary elections.

Reacting to Ribadu's stance, the Adamawa state APC, through its publicity secretary, Mohammed Abdullahi, warned Ribadu to desist from his planned sabotage of the party's governorship candidate.

“If need be, the APC will take disciplinary action against any erring party member, however highly placed,” Abdullahi warned.

According to Sahara Reporters, Abdullahi accused Ribadu of attempting to run a parallel campaign, which the party will not condone.

Adamawa APC executives also threatened to deal decisively with any party stakeholder who campaigns for Buhari without supporting all other APC candidates in the state, especially Governor Bindow.

The party EXCO said it expects all hands to be on deck given that it will soon commence its statewide campaign.

This latest move has further polarized the state chapter of the APC in Adamawa where supporters of those for or against the governor are already at daggers drawn and set for a battle which, if not quelled, will dim the party's chances in the 2019 elections.

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
