Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has debunked reports that he slumped and was rushed to the hospital.

Tinubu, who received representatives of traditional rulers from the south-west led by the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, in Abuja on Friday, January 11, dismissed the reports as "fake news," Daily Trust reports.

Legit.ng gathers that he stated further: “Whoever is manufacturing it, you better not believe them.”

Tinubu also reacted to reports on the absence of APC governors at the inaugural meeting of the presidential campaign council, also dismissing it as fake news.

He said: “The point is, the governors had to stay back because we all don’t have to converge in one place to decide certain modalities when we can easily go back to them on what was discussed and what we expect from your state. That is what we call structuring in an election."

Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that the co-chair of the APC presidential campaign council, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, assured Muhammadu Buhari that the body had accepted the assignment given it by the president and will work for the country.

Tinubu, in a personally signed statement, said the council would not let President Buhari down because doing so would also let down the nation.

The chieftain of the APC, therefore, rallied members of the campaign council with minister of transport, Rotimi Amaechi, as director-general, for the task ahead.

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.

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
