The door to door campaign which touched notable places in the nooks and crannies of Iwo local government took off from Ori-Eru junction, Odo - Ori market, Araromi Area, Osogbo junction, Towen road and terminated its sensitization programme at the Oluwo's Palace.

The Buhari Leekan Si ambassadors took time to convince electorates on the need to return the duo of Muhammadu Buhari and Yemi Osinbajo as president and vice president respectively in the February 16 election, which they said is for the continuation of the good and lofty ideas that will propel the country into prosperity and economic advancement.

Speaking to journalists, the director of media and publicity of the initiative, Samson Owoyokun lauded President Buhari for the critical interventions he has made to redeem the lost glory of Nigeria.

He also noted that the administration has recorded landmark achievements in the health, agriculture, power, road and railway sectors as well as his courageous mind to stem corruption in the country.

His words: “Iwo is strategic in the political scheme of Osun, and our party APC didn't do very well here in the last election, so this is a strategic intervention to boost the chances of the party, and enlighten electorates on voters education to reduce drastically voided votes in the coming election as against the 49,000 cancelled votes in the September 22 gubernatorial election.

“We are taking this campaign to other major towns in Osun and will be held in Oyo, Ondo and Ekiti states too.”

The APC chairman in Iwo, Alhaji Gafar Adeniyi Atanda who led other chieftains of the party to join the rally equally praised the initiator of the enlightenment rally for his contribution towards the stability of the party.

According to him, Iwo people are direct beneficiaries of the government policies in trader moni, market money and N-power programme.

“We can see the huge investment in road and power infrastructure everywhere we travel to within Nigeria,” he said.

Residents of the town trooped out to welcome the Buhari Leekan Si ambassadors and promised to mobilize votes for President Buhari and APC candidates in the zone.

Meanwhile, the minister of information and culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, has said the massive achievements of the Buhari administration have rattled the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar.

Reacting to the statement from Abubakar's media aide, over the widely-circulated testimony series of his ministry to showcase the administration's achievements, Mohammed said the action of the PDP candidate amounts to an acknowledgement of the administration's impressive achievements.

He also dismissed as 'acute paranoia' the allegation by Atiku that the APC-led federal government is using state resources for electioneering campaign.

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
