Confusion in Kano as APC, PDP embark on victory celebration

As Nigerians await result of the governorship election in Kano state, supporters of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and those of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) have taken to the streets in celebration, both claiming to have won Saturday’s governorship election.

However, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has taken the lead from 43 out of the 44 LGAs.

Currently, PDP now polled 960,004 votes as against APC’s 953,522 votes.

Meanwhile, Legit.ng had reported that the Kano police command has warned residents of the state against celebrating unofficial results of the Governorship and State House of Assembly elections.

The Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), DSP Abdullahi Haruna, gave the warning in a statement issued to newsmen in Kano on Sunday.

He said the command has observed with concern how some political gladiators in the state have commenced celebration of victory in some places.

Haruna said the warning is to maintain peace, harmony and do away with any accident and breach of peace in the state.

“The command is categorically putting it clear to all and sundry that the Independent National Election Commission (INEC) should be allowed to finish collating the results and declare authentic winners before any celebrations,” he said.

According to him, any person found engaging in such celebrations leading to breach of peace will be arrested and prosecuted as provided by law.

NAN recalls that supporters of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Governorship Candidate, Mr Abba Yusuf, engaged in celebration of victory on major roads of Kano metropolis on 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.

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.

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
