He said: “The mammoth crowd you are seeing here today is an assurance that President Buhari will win massively across the 21 local government areas of Kogi.

“It is a very successful rally today as you can see that it is a massive endorsement for our dear President, just as he won massively in Kogi in 2015.

“We are sure that Buhari will garner more votes, as we now have a governor that people of Kogi believes in, who has also performed well in security, infrastructure, health, education, among others.

“The ovation that Mr President’s statement received today on the rivatilisation of Ajaokuta Steel, shows that our people are desirous of having a rejuvenated Ajaokuta Steel Company.

“It is a very big policy statement as the President has promised to make sure that Ajaokuta comes back to life, employ our people, and use the Steel products for the development of the nation’s infrastructure.”

Fanwo, who doubles as the director general, media and publicity to Governor Yahaya Bello, said that the Itakpe to Warri rail line that had been rejuvenated was one of the things that had endeared Buhari to Kogi people.

He said: “Our governor has also been able to complement the achievements of President Buhari in Kogi, and that is why our people will vote massively for APC.

“I am calling on our people to come out en masse to vote Buhari and all other APC Candidates in February 16 and March 2, general elections, and to make sure that Buhari is re-elected for projects’ continuity."

He, however, advised the electorate to shun any form of violence saying “violence does us no good in an election irrespective of party."

In his words: “We must eschew violence, conduct ourselves well and ensure that politicians who do not use their children for thuggery do not end up using our children for such.”

Ademola Bello-Destiny, the APC candidate for Mopamuro State House of Assembly constituency, told NAN that the large turnout for the rally was a sign for Nigerians to know that Kogi is for Buhari.

He said: “I am giving you the assurance that in Mopamuro LGA, President Buhari will have 85 per cent votes across all the wards.”

Recall that Legit.ng earlier reported that Buhari arrived Kogi on Wednesday, January 16, to attend the APC's presidential campaign rally in the state.

The special adviser on media and publicity to the president, Femi Adesina, disclosed that the president attended the rally with the APC national president, Adams Oshiomhole; the Kogi state governor, Yahaya Bello and the governor of Plateau state, Simon Lalong.

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
