- The people were applauded by Raphael Adetiba for voting for the party in the just concluded presidential election in the state

- Adetiba said Oke-ero local government which was the only place where the PDP won needs to be taken back

Raphael Adetiba, the Kwara state House of Assembly candidate of the All Progressive Congress (APC), has called on the people of the state to vote for the party again on Saturday, March 9.

Adetiba made the appeal while speaking with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Sunday, March 3, in Abuja.

Adetiba, who is seeking to represent Oke-ero local government in the state House of Assembly, also urged the people to vote massively for the governorship and other candidates of the party during the elections.

He commended the people of the state for delivering all the six House of Representatives and three Senate seats in the state to the APC.

He said that such feat should be repeated in the governorship and state House of Assembly elections, stressing that the party would reciprocate the gesture.

The candidate, then, appealed to the people of his constituency to support the APC, adding that Oke-ero could not afford to be in the opposition in the state.

Adetiba said he was making the call because Oke-ero was the only local government won by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Saturday, February 23, out of the 16 local governments in the state.

The governorship and the state House of Assembly elections are to hold on Saturday, March 9.

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.

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
