Alhaji Aliyu Idris-Ibrahim, the council chairman of Zaria local government area of Kaduna state on Sunday, January 3, says re-electing President Muhammadu Buhari would guarantee brighter future for Nigeria.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that community leaders in each unit were mobilised by the council to monitor the execution of the projects to ensure compliance to set standards.

The council boss stressed the need for electorates to give President Buhari a second tenure to enable him to transform the country for a brighter future.

According to him, Buhari administration has recorded successes in areas of security, fighting corruption and diversifying the economy through agriculture.

The council chairman also stressed the need for the electorate to re-elect Governor Nasiru El-Rufai to continue his laudable programmes across the state.

Idris-Ibrahim cautioned against attacks on leaders, hate speech and the use of sentiments in the name of campaign.

“Our religion tells us to pray for our leaders, support them and encourage them where they do the right thing and advise them where they go wrong not uttering bad words not to talk of insulting them.

“In my own little knowledge, I have never seen a place in Islam where if a leader is doing well and ask for continuity will be turned down.

“Therefore, we have no option than to support their continuity, we must tell our children, our wives, brothers and sisters to come out en mass to give President Buhari, Governor El-Rufai and all other APC contestants block votes,” he pleaded.

In his speech, the APC zonal chairman, Northern Kaduna senatorial district, Alhaji Hussaini Zaria appreciated the council chairman for embarking on developmental projects.

He said the party was proud to have him as a council chairman in view of his foresight, commitment and desire to lift the local government to greater heights.

Alhaji Abdu Ringo, the APC chairman, Zaria local government also lauded the gigantic efforts of the council chairman in touching the lives of citizens of the area.

Ringo, who was represented by the vice chairman, Alhaji Buhari Musa-Bizara said in the history of local governments in Kaduna state, no council had ever awarded a contract worth N1 billion except Zaria under the present chairman.

“The member representing Zaria federal constituency also deserves a National Merit Award considering his track records in the House of Representatives.”

In their remarks, some community leaders in the area commended the chairman for executing people-oriented projects.

They pledged to give Buhari and APC the necessary support to succeed in the upcoming general elections.

NAN reports that the projects include; construction of culverts, drainages and channels, repair of boreholes, electrification and renovation of primary schools, among others.

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
