Rachel Akpabio, the south-south zonal woman leader of All Progressives Congress (APC), said that President Muhammadu Buhari’s re-election has become very critical to saving the country from moral decadence.

Akpabio made the assertion during an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Wednesday, February 6 in Port Harcourt.

Legit.ng gathers that she said that the country was almost neck deep in crises in various sectors ranging from economy to security until the timely intervention of the present administration.

The woman leader said that some Nigerians who had been criticising the present administration had failed to consider the positive implications of President Buhari’s re-election.

She said: “Believe it or not, there was the challenge of moral decadence before this administration came on board .

“We were already running into crises, for instance, the former finance minister, Okonjo Iweala, once said that she had advised the government to save for the rainy day and the advice was not effectively harnessed.

“Even the former Central Bank of Nigeria governor (CBN), Malam Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, once talked greatly about the 20 billion dollars that was not being remitted to the federation account.

“ Same goes for Professor Charles Soludo, also a former CBN governor, who also warned against mismanagement by government.

“All these technocrats were in government and they all expressed sincere views on the rate of moral decadence facing the country.”

Akpabio said that Buhari on assumption of office diligently studied the various crises threatening growth of the country and had been strategically tackling them.

The woman leader added: “All we need to do as lovers of our dear country is to allow the president consolidate on all his achievements.

“It’s saddening that some persons see the president as being slow but I see him as a diligent servant leader.

“A beautifully constructed building with visible cracks cannot be inhabited until such engineering fault is corrected to avoid collapse.

“Buhari in this instance, is fixing our cracked walls, he is moulding leadership in Nigeria, making sure that only the right technocrats occupy sacred positions with an objective of building a reliable nation.''

Akpabio also said that though the most expected 35 %t affirmative action had yet to be achieved by the present administration, an encouraging number of women were presently occupying various positions of trust.

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
