Buhari's re-election, a triumph over extreme capitalism, corruption - APC Scandinavia

- The Scandinavia branch of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has congratulated President Muhammadu Buhari on his re-election win

- Buhari polled 15,191,847 victory votes to defeat his main opponent, Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) who scored 11,255,978 votes

- The Scandinavian chapter of the APC also cautions the party against any decision that may threaten the unity it enjoys

The All Progressives Congress (APC) Scandinavia chapter, on Friday, March 1, congratulated President Muhammadu Buhari for emerging winner in the February 23 presidential election.

The chairman of the chapter, Mr Ayoola Lawal, gave the congratulatory message in a statement from his base in Stockholm, Sweden.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had on Wednesday, February 27, declared the president as winner of the election.

INEC chairman, Professor Mahmoud Yakubu, while announcing the election results, said Buhari of the All Progressives Congress (APC) polled 15,191,847 votes to defeat his main challenger, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) who polled 11,255,978 votes.

Lawal said the election was not just a referendum on Buhari’s leadership but also a referendum on consequences of values and antecedents.

“This 2019 presidential election proved to us the first of its kind in the history of Nigeria or rather Africa, whereby all the so-called elites across board could not lay claim to be instrumental to the success of the outcome.

“Even most of the so-called leaders and myth influencers against the re-election of the Buhari/ Osinbajo ticket could not deliver in their polling units, let alone their local governments.

“It was indeed a battle between the key corrupt establishment and the last man standing in his generation against corruption and extreme capitalism in the land, Nigeria.

“We commend the leadership of the party, APC, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, for leading the party to victory once again. Special thanks to the co-chairman of the Presidential Campaign Council, Chief Bola Tinubu and all the members of the council, both at home and in the Diaspora.

“To all the candidates that participated on the platforms of several political parties, especially the main opposition, PDP, at the just- concluded election, lets us think Nigeria first and join hands with Buhari to move Nigeria forward,’’ he added.

Ayoola urged those with grievances or who are dissatisfied with the outcome of the election to seek possible redress in the courts of law.

The chairman advised them not to take any action that could undermine unity and peace in the country.

He commended INEC for delivering an election adjudged to be largely peaceful, urging the commission to use the March 9 elections to improve on the process.

“We call on the federal government, the security agencies and citizens to be vigilant about any group or individual that might want to take law into their hands over election outcomes.

“Timely decisive action must be taken against such individuals or groups in order to keep the sanity of our system.

“To the Nigerian masses to which the victory belongs, complete what you already started by ensuring that we conduct ourselves in a peaceful manner in the forthcoming governorship and state assembly elections on March 9,’’ the statement added.

Momoh also said whoever believes the victory of the president’s re-election bid was not as praised as his first emergence must have a problem with their memory.

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
