The Kwara state capital, Ilorin was on Wednesday, January 9, locked down by scores of All Progressives Congress (APC) women and youth who staged a peaceful rally in support of President Muhammadu Buhari’s re-election, Daily Trust reports.

Legit.ng gathered that the rally which was organized by Making A Different (MAD) for Kwara and Kawu Modibbo Group saw the procession affecting human and vehicular traffic on the popular Muritala Mohammed way.

The rally started around the popular Post Office Roundabout in the metropolis at 9.30 am and ended at the campaign office of a former APC governorship aspirant Ishaq Modibbo Kawu.

Hon Bashir Bolarinwa, the state APC chairman, in his remark at the event, urged aggrieved members of the party to forget their grievances and work for the success of the party at polls.

Bolarinwa represented by his vice chairman Abdullahi Samari, said: “don’t sell your permanent voters’ cards to them. Your PVC is your power. If they bring money, collect the money. After all it is our money. But don’t vote them.”

The wife of Mallam Modibbo, Saadat speaking on behalf of the groups, said: “We are here today to mobilize youth and women in support of President Muhammadu Buhari’s re-election.

“He has been doing a great job in the country and we need to show people what he has been doing.

“The crowd that accompanied us from Post Office to this place is amazing. It is an assurance that Kwarans are ready for the re-election of President Buhari.

“We are also using this medium to empower some of our members. Kwara state is different from other states.

“We have been suffering for so long. People need to be empowered, that is why we are giving out some items to some people today.

“We resolved to show our members a specimen of what a voter’s card looks like so that they know how. In other words, we are embarking on voters’ education, so that they know how to vote on election. Kwarans are ready. We don’t need any message for them and it has started. We will not stop until election days.”

Abdulkarim Popoola, a youth leader, said the victory of President Muhammadu Buhari and his Vice Prof Yemi Osibajo is guaranteed.

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
