Atiku should congratulate Buhari over victory, not waste resources in court - APC chieftain

- Peoples Democratic Party presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, has been advised to congratulate President Muhammadu Buhari

- A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress and former deputy governorship candidate in Anambra, Dozie Ikedife Jnr, gave the advice to Atiku

- Recall that President Buhari defeated Atiku in the Saturday, February 23 presidential election

Former vice president Atiku Abubakar has been advised to congratulate President Muhammadu Buhari rather than wasting resources to contest the 2019 presidential election results in court.

The advice was given by a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and former deputy governorship candidate in Anambra, Dozie Ikedife Jnr, Daily Trust reports.

Legit.ng gathers that the APC chieftain advised the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate to join hands with the APC-led federal government to Nigeria to the next level.

Ikedife said President Muhammadu Buhari’s emergence as winner of the election was expected as well as deserving “because of his track record in the concluding first tenure”.

He said: “If you look at the President’s acceptance across the nation, it has increased tremendously. So, that is something to celebrate. I’m very happy that Nigerians have given President Buhari new political capital to govern us for another four years.

“This is what we expected because we told our people to support APC so that in 2023 an Igbo man can lay claim to the presidency under the APC platform. And it has happened.”

According to the APC chieftain, he expects more Nigerians of Igbo extraction to show presence in the APC because “they are the people at the gate now, hanging around the periphery waiting to take over from President Buhari in four years’ time".

Ikedife added: “It is tough to lose an election. It is tough to lose in a very competitive race like this. I think with time the shock to the opposition will sink in and the emotion will die down and they will make that important phone call expected of them, that is, to congratulate President Buhari on his well-deserved victory.”

Ufearoh said the party should not sink the ship of the state because it lost the presidential election.

Ufearoh advised the opposition party to join hands with President Buhari to move the nation forward.

He said: “I call on the President to be magnanimous with his victory, while the losers should accept defeat in the spirit of sportsmanship.

“They should not sink the ship of the state because of their loss. Let them join hands with Buhari to rebuild and move Nigeria forward.

“Buhari fulfilled his 2015 campaign promises to a reasonable extent. You know when you’re building a house, the foundation doesn’t appear fanciful."

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
