Kaduna state deputy governor, Barnabas Bantex, has expressed optimism that President Muhammadu Buhari and Governor Nasir El-Rufai will emerge victorious in the 2019 presidential and governorship elections respectively.

Bantex, who spoke on Saturday, January 12, during a campaign tour of Zonkwa, Zangon Kataf local government area of the state, said that the chances of APC winning the general election at the federal and state levels were high.

Bantex said that he was confident that Buhari’s and El-Rufai’s track records would work for them at the polls, the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports.

He said that the APC was only waiting to celebrate the outcome.

He, however, enjoined the people of the area to come out en masse and throw their support behind Buhari, El-Rufai and all other APC candidates vying for legislative positions at the state and national levels.

Bantex is the senatorial flag bearer of the APC for Kaduna South senatorial district.

Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that Governor El-Rufai said there are over a million Permanent Voters Cards (PVCs) yet to be collected in the state.

El-Rufai made the statement when traders of the popular Kaduna textile market, Kasuwan Barci, paid him a visit at the government house in Kaduna to back his second term bid.

The governor urged the traders to help in sensitising their members and the general public to approach INEC to collect their cards.

El-Rufai cautioned electorates against surrendering their PVC or its details to people going round, saying the motive of the opposition party was to clone and invalidate their PVCs.

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.

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
