Mohammed Abacha, governorship candidate of the Advance Peoples Democratic Alliance, in Kano state, has declared support for President Buhari's reelection bid by promising him two million votes in the state.

According to an online medium, Sahara Reporters, the eldest son of the late military dictator, General Sani Abacha, made this known while addressing reporters at his campaign office on Monday, February 17.

Abacha, who was represented by Bashir Bataya, chairman of APDA in Kano, hinged his support for Buhari on the track record of his achievements since he assumed office in 2015.

According to him, some of Buhari’s achievements are security and economic stability, capital projects and agriculture development.

Abacha said: “The APDA in its search for a torchbearer for this great nation, has found Buhari as a man of integrity, transparency and he is incorruptible.

“We have noticed a tremendous improvement in the area of security in Nigeria, especially in the northeast.

''Again, the stability in our economy and agriculture is a thing of joy. The home-grown feeding programme has generated millions of job opportunities and improved the consumption of local farm produce.

''When you consider the nation’s economic situation between 2014 and 2015, with the present situation, you will see that the country has largely improved.

"On capital projects, the Buhari government has completed and is still working on several abandoned projects across the country, especially road projects.”

Meanwhile, Legit.ng had reported that a former governorship candidate of the PDP in Kaduna state, Alhaji Sani Bello popularly known as Mainan Zazzau, donated a storey building as campaign office to the Presidential Support Committee (PSC) in the northwest zone.

Bello who was a chieftain of the PDP, contested the governorship primaries and lost to Honourable Isa Ashiru, defected to APC shortly after the primaries and expressed confidence that President Buhari would win the election come February 16.

He further assured that he would be readily available to assist the PSC in any way possible and as may be required going forward.

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
