His continued: “While we engage in issue based campaigns, we should know that my opponent in the governorship race is a serial contestant and a serial loser; he is a bad product that is difficult to market.

“You, the electorate should elect capable and experienced hands; governorship position is not a training ground, those who wants to contest against me should first of all, hold other political positions.”

The governor who was accompanied to the rallies by his wife, Dame Edith and his deputy, Barrister Kingsley Otuaro, thanked Deltans for their support.

He said: “We have a partnership that works, a genuine partnership between government and the governed, it has made the people to freely tell what government what they need, how they feel and we, as a government, has responded.

“We have empowerment programmes, we have constructed roads and because, you call me the road master, we will construct more roads in the next four years, we have built schools, we are working with our people and the smiling faces I see here, the crowd shows that our people are happy and we are happy when we know that our people are happy.”

He listed some of the projects his administration has executed and is executing in the area, emphasising, “vote for all the candidates of the PDP, we are sure of victory, because we have handed over the campaign to God, no one can stop us.”

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.

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
