Meanwhile, with about seven days to the Nigerian presidential election, the leadership of 'Igbo Delegate Assembly' has thrown its weight behind the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar.

The endorsement by the Assembly is coming barely one week after Ohaneze Nd'Igbo, a Pan socio-cultural group in southeast Nigeria, adopted Atiku as candidate of the region in the forthcoming presidential election.

In a decision which followed a stakeholder's meeting in Abuja on Thursday, February 7, the Igbo Assembly, released its communiqué, affirming its support of the Nnia Nwodo-led Ohanaeze Ndigbo and its endorsement of Abubakar, as the Presidential ticket of choice for Ndigbo.

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.

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
