The candidate disclosed this in the petition to the IGP, entitled: ”Plot by Zamfara governor, Yari, to rig March 9, 2019 has been discovered.”

The petition read in part: “The plot is to use the Mobile Police to disrupt the election and chase away voters in areas considered to be strongholds of APGA, NRM, PDP and G8 supporters across the 14 local government areas of the state.

“The governor boasted during his meeting with All Progressives Congress, APC, factional chairman and APC factional governorship candidate, APC factional state secretary and APC factional Youth Leader over his plans.

“Governor Yari has repeatedly stated that the party will not allow free, fair and credible election in Zamfara State.Governor Yari anchors his confidence on what he and his supporters call ‘Federal Might’. He believes that APC-controlled Federal Government will send 15 units of Mobile Police in addition with other security agencies to rig the election in favour of APC.

“He made it clear that he will intimidate the major opposition parties, PDP, APGA, NRM candidates during the election to have their way. We urge the Federal Government lead by President Muhammadu Buhari to know that the Zamfara State is part of the federation called Nigeria and the people of the state deserve to be given equal protection to vote for candidates of their choice in a peaceful atmosphere not a militarized one as Governor Yari is planning to do.”

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
