- PDP presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abukakar has given his thoughts on the audio circulating on social media

Minister of transportation and director-general of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential campaign council, Rotimi Amaechi, has dismissed an audio recording where he was alleged to have criticized President Muhammadu Buhari.

In the audio which has now gone viral on social media, Amaechi was quoted to have said President Buhari do not read newspapers or listen to news on the economic situation in the country.

“The president does not listen to anybody. He doesn’t care. You can write what you want to write. Does he read? I was flying with him in an aircraft and we saw a news report where a goat seller was complaining that he couldn’t sell his goats during Sallah because of he Buhari’s administration. And the president said what’s my business with goat sellers?” the minister allegedly said in the audio that is yet to verified for authenticity.

When he was asked by Daily Sun for his comments on the audio, Amaechi said: “Nothing. I am not aware of any audio recording.”

Further told that the audio was gaining momentum on different online websites, Amaechi asked: “Do I do website?”

Meanwhile, presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, has said that the trending leaked audio recordings alleged to be the voice of Amaechi, has confirmed that voting Buhari for a second term in office means bringing starvation to Nigerians.

Atiku also said that the recording has revealed the minister as confirming that Nigeria “was beyond redemption because the country was yet to find a leader that can confront the enormous challenges facing it.”

He continued: “Truth is, the president has established a record of failures which probably no other president would ever equal or erase.

“Mrs Aishat Buhari was partially correct when she stated that two people are preventing her husband from performing well. With this audio tape, if the two don’t include her husband then she is not completely being truthful.”

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
