Adekunle Akinlade, the governorship candidate of the Allied Peoples Movement in Ogun state, on Wednesday, January 2, declared that he contributed to the success story of the state governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun.

The Punch reports that Akinlade made this known during a courtesy call on the Egba Traditional Council at the Ake Palace.

Akinlade said he and his running mate, Adepeju Adebajo, were the most capable candidates to take over from the present administration adding that the state would be the pride of Africa in the next 10 to 15 years if elected.

He added that the legacy of Amosun’s administration deserved to be sustained, promising that no project started by the governor would be abandoned by his administration .

According to him, “When I met Amosun, I met a man of vision who knew what he wanted for the state. But the initial challenge we faced was finance. I was part of the history which increased our IGR to what it is today before I was given a federal assignment in Abuja.

“What you are seeing in Ogun is less than 10 per cent of the vision Amosun has for the state. Part of the blueprint is the rail project across major towns in the state. I will ensure the rail project materialises and it will be the pride of Africa in the next 10 to 15 years.

“We have the best team to take over from Amosun. Apart from my experience in the state and House of Representatives, I have a running mate who has served in many multinational companies and even the public sector.”

While seeking the blessing of the traditional rulers, Akinlade said the result of the election would not be determined in Abuja but by people of the state who were subjects of the traditional rulers.

Meanwhile, Legit.ng had reported that the Ogun chapter of the APC cautioned the state governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun, to be mindful of his outbursts against the party’s governorship candidate, Prince Dapo Abiodun.

The party in a statement signed and made available to journalists by the Caretaker Publicity Secretary, Tunde Oladunjoye, said the governor deserved to be pitied and prayed for, over his recent comments against the APC governorship candidate.

The development he said was smacked of “outgoing syndrome, emanating from political amnesia and loss of touch with reality”

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
