2019 election: Don’t vote against Amosun - Osoba begs Ogun APC members

- Olusegun Osoba, a former governor of Ogun state, has urged members of APC in the state to vote for Governor Ibikunle Amosun to achieve his senatorial ambition on Saturday, February 23

- Some thugs believed to be Amosun's supporters had pelted leaders of the party with stones during the party's presidential campaign in the state

- Osoba, however, told the party’s supporters to leave vengeance to God and vote for all APC candidates

Olusegun Osoba, former Ogun state governor, has pleaded with members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to put behind them the attack on the party’s campaign rally in Abeokuta, the state capital, and ensure victory for its candidates, including Governor Ibikunle Amosun.

The Nation reports that some suspected political thugs believed to have been hired by loyalists of the Allied Peoples Movement (APM) governorship candidate and the governor attacked the APC campaign rally in Abeokuta, pelting stones at dignitaries.

Legit.ng gathered that Osoba, who expressed sadness that no arrest had been made, said he told the party’s supporters to leave vengeance to God and vote for all APC candidates.

He said: “Ogun state is first in several areas. The leader of the progressives in this country is from that state and it is the home state of the vice president.

''I told the president that I apologised to him and that up till today, nobody has been arrested. I see that as a failure on the part of some elements of the security agencies.

“Actually, the bulk of APC in Ogun state, we are one family. An instruction has gone out that in spite of what has happened, we should vote for APC candidates at all levels and when the result is out, it should reflect that.

“At least, we should respect the Vice President who is busy preaching welfarism for the down-trodden. I am sure that appropriate action will be taken on that issue later.

“Yesterday (Sunday), I told stakeholders in Ogun state that on no account should anybody vote against Amosun. A governor is a governor and he will be in office till May 29. So, why are we worrying ourselves?

“Amosun is just an individual. I still respect him as my governor up to May 29, this year, and I will not do anything to undermine him as governor.

Meanwhile, Legit.ng had previously reported that the All Progressives Congress (APC) alleged that Governor Ibikunle Amosun was responsible for sponsoring thugs to throw objects at President Muhammadu Buhari and other party chieftains at its campaign rally in Abeokuta, Ogun state.

It was reported Mallam Lanre Issa-Onilu, APC's spokesman, stated that the state governor will be punished after the general elections.

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,

Former Maritime Agency Boss, Buba Galadima, Accuses AMCON Of Witch-hunt After Property Takeover

A former Director-General of the Nigeria Maritime Agency, Buba Galadima, has accused the Asset Management Corporation of Nigeria of witch-hunt after the agency took possession of his business and assets on Tuesday in Abuja. Galadima, an ardent critic of President Muhammadu Buhari, claimed that he did not borrow money or have unpaid debt with Unity Bank, which lodged a complaint against him and occasioned AMCON’s move on Tuesday. The properties taken over include House No. 15, Addis Ababa Crescent, Wuse Zone 4, Federal Capital Territory, Abuja and House No. 4, Bangui Street, Wuse 2, also in Abuja. Reacting to the situation, Galadima said, “This is an attempt to disgrace and break me down. This is injustice and an attempt to humiliate me. "But I am unbreakable and they can never silence me. They sacked me and over 50 people that sleep in the apartment. "We don’t know where to go. We will remain on the streets. We will remain on the streets until God provi
