Elections 2019: Buhari’s victory will bury Obasanjo forever politically - Sagay

- Prof. Itse Sagay (SAN) has questioned former president Olusegun Obasanjo over the latter's criticisms of President Buhari

- According to Sagay, Obasanjo has no following in Nigeria and he had no hand in Buhari's victory in 2015

- Sagay added that Obasanjo is suffering God's punishment for breaking the promise he made that God will punish him if he ever forgives and supports Atiku

The chairman of the Presidential Advisory Committee Against Corruption (PACAC), Prof. Itse Sagay (SAN), has slammed former president Olusegun Obasanjo over the latter's criticisms of President Muhammadu Buhari.

According to him, the victory of President Buhari in the coming presidential election would bury Obasanjo politically.

"God has decided not to forgive him and so, this present outbursts and shenanigans he has embarked upon is a like curse from God. God is exposing him and making him a subject of ridicule and scorn in Nigeria," Sagay told Independent.

Going further, he added that: "That is the punishment he is suffering from God for breaking that promise he made that God will punish him if he ever forgives and support Atiku. I heard he is planning to embark on foreign tour for Atiku.

"I hope they will all come and vote on the February I6. These people just fool themselves; they don’t know what it’s all about. To start with, this whole Obasanjo thing is a myth.

"He doesn’t have any following in Nigeria. Absolutely no following! Buhari won in 2015 because he is popular. It has nothing to do with Obasanjo. This time, I am even glad Obasanjo is against Buhari because the landslide will be more than the votes he got in 2015 and it will bury Obasanjo forever politically."

Obasanjo is one of Buhari's greatest critics. He recently alleged that leaders of the ruling All Progressives Congress will be thrown into hell fire if their records are examined.

In reaction to hi recent outburst, some clerics across Nigeria declared a 30-day deliverance session for the former president. The clerics under the aegis of the National Inter-Faith and Religious Organisation for Peace said Obasanjo's problem is beyond ordinary, hence, the call for prayer.

Meanwhile, a group of protesters took to the streets of Lagos over the recent attack on President Buhari. The protesters in their scores accused Obasanjo of plans to install an interim government against the will of the people.

The individuals under the aegis of Coalition for Defence of Democracy in Nigeria (CDDN) also called on the federal government to drop its tolerant attitude and put the pressure on Obasanjo to immediately call off all the attacks that are planned against the interests of Nigeria.

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
