- Festus Okoye, the INEC's national commissioner and chairman information and voter education committee, had on Monday, February 18, said the decision to extend the campaigns was taken at the meeting with stakeholders

The United Kingdom chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has commended the decision of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to extend electioneering campaigns till the mid-night of Thursday, February 21.

Legit.ng gathered that the spokesperson of the chapter, Jacob Ogunseye, made this known in a statement on Tuesday, February 19, in Abuja, as he said that President Muhammadu Buhari was unbeatable because of his track records of developmental achievements.

He noted that the president’s achievements in all sectors of the country’s economy would speak for him anytime any day and would secure the votes of Nigerians for him.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reported that INEC reversed its earlier decision to suspend electioneering campaigns

The commission, in a statement issued on Monday, February 18, in Abuja by Festus Okoye, its national commissioner and chairman information and voter education committee, however, said that campaigns would end by Thursday midnight, February 21.

Okoye said the decision to extend the campaigns was taken at the commission’s meeting with stakeholders where it reviewed its preparations for the general elections re-scheduled for February 23.

He added that while political parties and candidates could resume campaigns forthwith, electioneering must end by midnight of Thursday.

He added that by the extension of campaigns, media organisations were now at liberty to accept, publish, broadcast and circulate campaign materials up till midnight of Thursday.

He, however, enjoined political parties and their candidates to abide by the extant laws governing campaigns in the country.

Okoye thanked Nigerians for their understanding, regarding the rescheduling of the elections and appealed to stakeholders to be dispassionate and circumspect in their comments.

“The commission is focusing on the elections to be held on Feb. 23 and March 9 to ensure that they are free, fair and credible.

“We urge Nigerians to participate fully in the elections, notwithstanding the disappointment, ” the commissioner had said.

He assured that the commission had worked out in detail, concrete steps to be taken to ensure that election materials arrived polling units in good time for prompt commencement of the polls on February 23.

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the APC had said that the earlier decision of the commission to suspend campaigns contravened the Electoral Act, adding that they would resume campaigns.

Ogunseye, while commending the commission for the decision, said it was an opportunity for the APC and all its candidates to shore up their winning chances ahead of the rescheduled elections.

He said that the preparedness of the APC and its candidates for the elections was, however, not in doubt while INEC’s decision to lift the embargo was an added advantage to it.

“INEC decision to extend campaigns is good for us; we only hope they are prepared for the election this time around.

“As President Buhari has said, APC candidates have no reason to be afraid of loosing elections because the party has enough support base, haven visited the 37 states of the federation and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) to campaign. Victory is indeed ours in the coming elections,” Ogunseye said.

He, however, urged the party members across the country to use the opportunity presented by the extension and the days ahead to ensure that no stone was left unturned, adding that it was critical to secure the much needed victory for President Muhammadu Buhari and all APC candidates. NAN

Meanwhile, Legit.ng had previously reported that the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the United Kingdom called for a review of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC)'s operational model in order to reform it.

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
