Weeks to presidential election, AA endorses Buhari, reportedly abandons Atiku

- The Action Alliance (AA) declares support for President Muhammadu Buhari weeks to the presidential election

- The AA earlier declared support for Atiku Abubakar, the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)

- Kenneth Udeze, the national chairman of AA, says the party will win Imo for Uche Nwosu and support Buhari for 2019

The Action Alliance (AA) has re-emphasised that it has finally settled for President Muhammadu Buhari ahead of the February 16, 2019, presidential election thus leaving its earlier endorsement of Atiku Abubakar, the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Vanguard reports that the declaration of the AA for Buhari, who is the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), was made by Kenneth Udeze, the party’s national chairman.

It was learnt that Udeze said this when he joined the governorship candidate of the party in Imo state, Uche Nwosu, during the flag-off of the latter’s campaign.

The report earlier quoted Udeze as supporting Atiku Abubakar before his sudden change of endorsement.

The national chairman promised that AA would win the election in Imo state while supporting President Buhari for the presidential election.

Udeze, who presented the party’s flag to Nasiru Buhari, the representative of the president, declared: “We are ready to take over Imo state and also give President Buhari a landslide victory.

“We adopted President Buhari because he is a trustworthy leader who means well for the country.”

Also speaking at the flag-off, Nwosu said: “I am sure of victory because of the support of the masses and I will be youngest governor in Nigeria by May 29.

“I am running with those who are old enough to be my father but my appeal to them is to leave the stage for the youths and take their deserved rest, while we harness the potentials of our youths to make our state great.”

Legit.ng earlier reported that the Action Alliance, on Monday, January 14, affirmed its support for Alhaji Atiku Abubakar in the forthcoming presidential election.

The report had quoted Udeze as stating this at a press conference at the party’s headquarters in Abuja.

“We are for Atiku/Obi leadership and we are glad to work with all believers of true federalism and efficient administration of governance at all levels to accomplish this as we approach the forthcoming elections.

“The National Executives Committee (NEC) of our party are on the same page concerning our support for Atiku, same with all our state chapters in this matter.

“We hereby restate out position through this medium that AA as a certified and active member of the Coalition of United Political Parties (CUPP) have not for a moment reconsidered or wished to alter that position," he had said.

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
