2019 election: APC chieftain reveals why Ajimobi lost his senatorial election

- A chieftain of APC in Oyo state has revealed why Governor Abiola Ajimobi lost his senatorial election

- Kola Balogun, the candidate of PDP, had on Saturday, February 23, defeated Ajimobi, to win Oyo south senatorial election

- The party leader said that Ajimobi's arrogance was responsible for his loss at the poll

A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Oyo state has revealed why the incumbent governor of the state, Abiola Ajimobi, failed to win Oyo south senatorial election on Saturday, February 23.

Legit.ng regional reporter in Oyo, Khalid Imran, reports that the APC leader, who spoke under the condition of anonymity, said that Ajimobi's arrogance and reckless speeches were mainly responsible for the defeat he suffered from the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Kola Balogun.

The APC's chieftain said the party would have won the three senatorial seats at the upper chamber of the National Assembly, adding that the governor orchestrated his own defeat by arrogance.

The source said that out of three senatorial districts in Oyo state, APC won Oyo north and central senatorial districts while the other one was won by the PDP, adding that the party also won nine House of Representatives' seats out fourteen in the state.

He said Ajimobi's attitude and dictatorial tendencies in the state led to the break away of the group loyal to late Lam Adesina to join African Democratic Congress (ADC), adding that his omniscient and omnipotent attitude in the party and state had adversely affected the party.

On Ajimobi's administration, he described Ajimobi as brilliant performer and administrator per excellence whose assumption of office as the governor has changed the outlook of the state in all ramifications, adding that he was a square peg in a square hole when it comes to administration and practice of modern politics.

On the forthcoming governorship and state House of Assembly elections, the party chieftain said the damage had been done to the party following the dictatorial tendencies of the governor.

To rescue the party and ensure it wins the forthcoming governorship election, those that matter in the state and at national level had swung into action to ensure the party wins.

He said parts of the effort geared towards the winning of election was to reach out to all party's members and loyalists who had left for opposition parties to return to their mainstream.

Meanwhile, Legit.ng had previously reported that Governor Abiola Ajimobi's hope of becoming a senator to represent Oyo south senatorial district was dashed on Saturday, February 23.

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
