Why I don’t need to join cult to be governor in 2019 - APGA candidate Maku

- A former minister of information and governorship candidate of APGA in Nasarawa state, Labaran Maku, says he does not need to join cult to be governor

- The governorship candidate says he has always relied only on God throughout his life and the latter has been faithful to him

- According to Maku, he has resisted all pressures to join ungodly groups since he was a student

The governorship candidate of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) in Nasarawa state, Labaran Maku, has said he would not join any cult group just to be elected governor of the state in the forthcoming general elections.

Maku made the assertion on Wednesday, January 2, while addressing supporters that paid new year homage to him at his home in Wakama village of Nassarawa-Eggon local government area of the state.

According to him, he has resisted all pressures to join ungodly groups since his student days, News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports.

Legit.ng notes that the governorship candidate says: “I have always relied only on God throughout my life and He has been faithful to me. If God has helped and protected me since my days as a leader of students, to commissioner, deputy governor and minister, why should I now rely on a deity that is powerless. No power or connection that is not of God that can give me position except God.

Maku advised leaders to desist from dividing people along ethnic and religion lines only to steal public funds.

He explained that no religion encourages corruption, therefore no one should use religion and thereafter steal government money.

Maku added: “If you claim to be religious, the virtue of your religion should manifest on how you manage the affairs of the state or country and not just lip service."

He promised to operate a government that would be corruption-free and ensure justice to all, if elected governor.

Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) in Nasarawa state, Labaran Maku, promised to end insecurity in the state, if elected in 2019.

Maku, a former minister of information, made the promise on Friday, December 21, while addressing some internally displaced persons in Akon, Obi local government area.

He said that he would ensure that peace returns to all parts of the state within his first 100 days in office.

Maku, who is also the national secretary of APGA, said that his administration would convene a peace, unity and security summit, where the template for the restoration of peace and the people’s integration would be fine-tuned.

He added: “By the grace of God and the commitment of my government, we will make sure that no community is taken over by any militia group.

“We will make the state too hot for any militia group to operate; we will also defend our people in all parts of the state from attacks."

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
