- There is an alleged confusion in Lagos APC over takeover of Sanwo-Olu's campaign organisation by Aregbesola

- Aregbesola was said to have taken over the organisation after the sacking of director of monitoring and evaluation, Abiodun AbdulRasheed Mafe

- It was gathered that Mafe was sacked by Aregbesola because of his closeness to Sulaimon Omoyele, the director general of Ambode mandate support group

Confusion has hit Lagos state chapter of the All Progressive Congress (APC) over the alleged takeover of Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu Campaign Organisation (BOSCO) by the immediate past governor of Osun state, Rauf Aregbesola, barely six weeks to the February 16 presidential election.

This Day reports that following the takeover, Aregbesola, was said to have instigated the immediate sack of the BOSCO director of monitoring and evaluation, Abiodun AbdulRasheed Mafe.

Legit.ng gathered that Mafe, a two time council chairman of Mosan Okunola LCDA in Lagos state, was said to be close to Sulaimon Omoyele, the director general of Ambode mandate support group.

It was learnt that the action of Aregbesola does not to have the blessing of Sanwo-Olu who does not want to rock the boat because of the former governor’s closeness to the leader of the party, Bola Tinubu.

Until he was sacked last week, Mafe is said to enjoy the confidence of Sanwo-Olu, and was a member of his inner circuit, who has been hyping on the need for true reconciliation in Lagos APC to ensure victory in the March election.

This development, many see as stripping Sanwo-Olu of the power, privilege and the right to manage and execute his campaign as well as being his own man politically.

BOSCO director general, Tayo Ayinde, and other directors, it was learnt, are at loss over the intrusion of Aregbesola into the system.

When contacted, a member of Sanwoolu media team, who pleaded anonymity, confirmed the sack of Mafe and the takeover of the campaign organisation by Aregbesola, adding that he would not want to comment on the crisis for fear of a backlash.

According to him, only the two combatants in the crisis can comment on it.

Meanwhile, Aregbesola is now a member of the Lagos APC Governor’s Advisory Council, the assemblage of top politicians Tinubu uses to run the affairs of the party in the state.

The decision to bring Aregbesola into the council is said to have been opposed by Governor Akinwunmi Ambode who took exception to the presence of the former Osun state governor at the meeting of the council.

It was also learnt that Ambode was said to have called it a trite that his predecessor, Babatunde Raji Fashola; his deputies, Sarah Sosan and Adejoke Orelope Adefulire, as well as former state speaker, Adeyemi Ikuforiji, were excluded in the council, suggesting they be brought in.

But their suggestion was said to have been rejected by the leadership of the council as no other member of the GAC present had the courage to second Ambode’s suggestion.

Meanwhile, Legit.ng had previously reported that some members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) accused Governor Akinwunmi Ambode of funding the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship campaign as payback for the way he was stopped from seeking a second term.

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
