Adding that INEC has failed to live up to the collective expectation of most Nigerians, the senator alleged that the APC has the antecedent of rigging elections in the country, citing the recent gubernatorial polls in Ekiti and Osun, where, according to him, there were many cases of vote buying.

Amori went ahead in his allegation to say that if the electoral body continues with its scheme to rig the coming elections in the favour of the ruling party, it will face strong resistance from both Nigerians and the international community.

He stated: “APC is not the Messiah party and President Buhari has taken Nigeria 16 years backward within three years and eight months in office; and the entire world crashed on APC the very moment INEC radically shifted the goal post by postponing last Saturday’s election as the nation’s electoral goalkeeper.

“It’s obvious that Buhari cannot make it back to Aso Rock in 2019; the handwriting is clear, no matter the manipulations which may occur as a result of the postponement. Our presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar shall defeat Buhari with an embarrassing wide margin at the poll.

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.

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
