Youth Employment Initiative (UYEI) has urged Nigerians to vote massively for candidates of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), saying that the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) disappointed Nigerians for 16 years.

He said: “The Buhari administration deserves a second term in office to consolidate on the gains made so far in retrieving Nigeria from the sordid mess of the PDP years.”

The group urged Deltans to “liberate themselves from further PDP bondage by voting in Chief Great Ogboru as governor.”

Chief Great Ogboru is the APC governorship candidate for Delta state.

Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that Ogboru urged Deltans to hold him accountable if he fails to deliver as governor.

He made the pledge on Wednesday, February 6, during the APC campaign rally at Ndokwa east and Ndokwa west local council areas of the state, Guardian reports.

He commended the Ndokwa people for being firm to his aspirations over the years, saying: “The time has come for Ndokwa nation to enjoy the dividends of democracy, where development will be spread to all the nooks and crannies of the state.

"We have so many graduates in the state, but no job opportunities.”

He lamented that the situation has perpetually affected the youths, promising that with the new Delta, all that would stop once he assumes office as governor.

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.
