Shehu Sani, on his official Twitter page on Monday, February 4, claimed that state governors have the financial resources to fund violence, buy votes and work against the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) during the coming general elections.

The senator further said that such governors also use state funds to hire thugs that will disrupt the electoral processes to their own advantage.

Moreover, he remarked that the talk about security especially during the polls should be focused on governors so that they can comply with set rules.

Meanwhile, Legit.ng reported that Shehu Sani had reacted to the political squabble between the campaign teams of President Muhammadu Buhari and Atiku Abubakar.

Sani, a former member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), suggested that to end the allegations from Atiku and the reactions from the presidency, the two organisations that were named should come out with a statement clarifying the situation.

"In view of the moral dust raised by the questions on the shares of the two firms now on the scale of integrity,” he said, the two organisations should “publish the full names of their shareholders, to exhale the billows of smoke & clear the dark clouds hanging over the landscape of our nation.”

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
