Anything that gravitates towards Atiku is always tainted with corruption - Keyamo

- Festus Keyamo has again attacked the PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar

- Keyamo blamed Atiku for the corrruption rise in the United States

Festus Keyamo has blamed the Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar, for the rise in corruption in the United States, after the US gave him a visa.

Keyamo said this while reacting to a Transparency International (TI) reports on how the US slid down the rankings of a global corruption index as its system of checks and balances faced growing threats.

Keyamo, the Director, Strategic Communications of Buhari Campaign Organisation, shared the TI reports on Twitter and commented: "Anything that gravitates towards Atiku is always tainted with corruption. Now, the US gives him a ‘special waiver’ as a candidate to come in for a few days and see the result."

Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that the national leader of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, on Tuesday, January 29, replied the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, over the latter’s recent state of the nation address.

Tinubu, in the reply he personally signed and made available to Legit.ng, described Atiku as unfit for the position he currently seeks to occupy. He also alleged that the former vice president indicted himself over his stance on the suspension of Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Walter Onnoghen.

Tinubu said: "The PDP’s presidential candidate, former Vice President Atiku, recently made comments regarding suspension of CJN Onnoghen. Atiku’s release is entitled “State of the nation address”. I encourage everyone to read it. In its disregard for the truth and patent misrepresentations, it will go down in political history as a classic of self-incrimination. Atiku thinks the piece exalts him. Instead it evinces his penchant for wilful misstatement that make him unfit for the office he now seeks and has always coveted."

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
