- The pastor challenged Nigerians to exercise their franchise as citizens and refuse to sell their votes

- Olaiya also admonished political parties to shun violence in the forthcoming polls

A pastor in Gospel Faith Mission International (GOFAMINT), Bariga chapter, Taiwo Olaiya, has asked President Muhammadu Buhari to do away with cabal in his administration.

The pastor also called on Nigeria to all go out and vote in the forthcoming elections, The Punch reports.

Olaiya made this known in a statement on Thursday, January 17 during the church’s seven-day programme which was titled “The Seven Spirits of God”.

The cleric further asked all political parties to participate in the election in a healthy manner and not take it as a do-or-die exercise.

The statement partly said: “He advised President Muhammadu Buhari to protect his integrity and remove the cabal in his government, who may tarnish his reputation. He called on Nigerians to exercise their franchise as citizens and refuse to sell their votes.”

John Udofa, the church's regional 1 pastor, also asked Nigerians to exercise their right to vote by getting their Permanent Voters Cards (PVCs).

Another part of the statement said: “The regional pastor, Udofa, said as the elections drew close, Christians must not be afraid. He said they should get their PVCs and vote while praying for a government that fears and honours God”

Recall that Legit.ng earlier reported that President Buhari responded to the allegation of Aisha, his wife, and others that his government was being frustrated by some powerful people popularly referred to as ‘cabal’.

The wife of the president had, on several occasions, said a few people were frustrating the president's effort to perform and grow the nation beyond how he met it.

In response Buhari said: “That’s her business… This shows I am a real democrat… What they are saying is different from what is happening. They should come out and say those things they feel was staged managed by the cabal. What the cabal force me to do. They should mention just one thing.”

The president also challenged others making the allegations that a cabal is in charge of his government to substantiate their claims.

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
