2019 elections: No plans to demolish Ladipo market - Sanwo-Olu's running mate

- Obafemi Hamzat, APC deputy governorship candidate in Lagos state, has said Sanwo Olu's government will not demolish Ladipo spare part market

- The deputy governorship candidate said the market will rather be improved on

- Hamzat also called on the Igbos in the state to massively support his party

The All Progressives Congress (APC) deputy governorship candidate in Lagos state, Obafemi Hamzat, has said there are no plans to demolish the Ladipo spare parts market in Mushin area if the party wins again in the March 2 poll.

Hamzat, a former commissioner of works and infrastructure in Lagos state, said this at a town hall meeting organised by the Ndi-Igbo in APC Lagos state.

The meeting was to interact with the party’s gubernatorial candidate, Babajide Sanwo-Olu and Hamzat, in Lagos state.

He said that their government would improve on the market rather than demolish it.

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate in Lagos, Jimi Agbaje, who visited Ladipo spare parts market in Mushin on Wednesday, January 23, had alleged that the APC led-administration was threatening to shut the market.

Hamzat, however, said: ”Our government has no plans of demolishing the Ladipo spare parts matket. That market has been existing even before I was born.

”We will run a government that will be inclusive, where everybody, irrespective of tribe, ethnicity, religion and background will participate.

“As long as you live in Lagos, you are a ‘Lagosian’. The Igbos have been very supportive, we have been working together as a state and they deserve adequate recognition.

”I’m appealing that you vote massively for the APC, it is a party that will guarantee the future of our children.

“Let’s make sure Lagos continues to progress so that we can continue to do our businesses in peace."

Hamzat said with the huge projects and infrastructure development delivered by the APC government in the last three years in the southeast, he was sure that the Igbos would support and vote for the party.

He said: ”I was a special adviser to Babatunde Fashola, the minister of power, works and housing, and I can boldly say that we have delivered many projects in the southeast.”

Also speaking, Alhaji Tunde Balogun, chairman APC Lagos, urged Ndi-Igbos to go get their Permanent Voters Cards (PVCs) and ensure victory for APC in the coming elections.

In his words: ”APC in Lagos has been tested and trusted, as we have been delivering on our promises in the last 20years.

”I also want to advise that given the large number of registered political parties, the thumb printing space on the ballots paper will be tiny.

“I, however, advise that you use your index finger to fit the space."

In his address, Joe Igbokwe, apex leader, Ndi-Igbo in APC, Lagos, said that Ndi-Igbo had been investing and contributing to the development of the state.

Igbokwe said that Ndi-Igbo did not have a quarter of the investments they had in Lagos in the eastern states put together.

According to him, the Igbos in Lagos have to build and protect the state by supporting and voting massively for Sanwo-Olu of APC.

He urged Sanwo-Olu and Hamzat to ensure their administration gave the Ndi-Igbo due recognition in their policies and programmes as co-partners in progress.

Igbokwe also urged the people from the southeast to vote for APC in the coming elections to secure Igbo presidency in 2023.

”Let our leaders see our massive votes and we will begin to negotiate Igbo presidency in 2023,” he said.

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
