The national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Adams Oshiomhole, declared President Muhammadu Buhari’s policy programmes are for the benefit of the poor and not to enrich himself.

Adams, while addressing APC supporters during President Buhari’s campaign visit to Gombe on Saturday, February 2, said the policies of Buhari were targeted at addressing the challenges of the poor, News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports.

According to him, “The programmes and policies of President Buhari, particularly those social programmes, are designed to focus and address the challenges confronting the forgotten majority of the Nigerian masses.

“I am not surprised that our opponents have been attacking these policies. To them, money given to the poor is money wasted, but when they steal and give to the few, it is money well spent.

“As we approach the elections, Nigerians must know that President Buhari is a president that believes in Nigeria.

“He believes that the wealth of our nation should be managed in a way as to reflect the quality of life of the majority of the people.

“A president who believes that the child of the poor who goes to school should have at least one square meal compared to the one that if elected, will enrich himself.’’

According to Oshiomhole, the overwhelming crowd that came to the Pantami stadium to welcome the president shows that the people of Gombe have spoken loud and clear in favour of Buhari.

Meanwhile, Legit.ng had reported that the national chairman of the APC, Adams Oshiomhole, asked President Buhari to probe the alleged mismanagement carried out by ex-president, Olusegun Obasanjo, when he ruled the country.

Oshiomhole made the request when he spoke in Damaturu, Yobe state, during the APC presidential campaign.

The APC national chairman accused Obasanjo of bribing members of the National Assembly with millions of naira during his tenure.

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.

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
