Governor Amosun’s suspension nails APC casket in Ogun - Group

- Reactions continue to trail the suspension of Governor Ibikunle Amosun from the APC

- Amosun was expelled by the NWC of the party alongside his Imo state counterpart, Rochas Okorocha

- A group in Ogun says the suspension of Amosun nails APC casket in the state

The Movement for Yewa/Awori for Governor (MOYAG) has described the suspension of Ogun state governor, Ibikunle Amosun, from the All Progressives Congress (APC) as the end of the party in the state.

The group in a press briefing in Abeokuta, the Ogun state capital, said Governor Amosun’s suspension is a suspension of the party in the state.

At a press conference in Abeokuta on Monday, March 4, the group's convener, Mr. Sola Oyekanmi, canvassed support for the Allied Peoples Movement (APM) governorship candidate, Adekunle Akinlade.

He noted that Amosun’s suspension was hinged on his commitment to ensure justice and equity for Yewa/Awori to produce the next governor.

He said the group is leaving no stone unturned to ensure that a Yewa indigene becomes the next governor of the state, stressing that the district has not produced the governor since the creation of the state over 42 years ago.

Two candidates from Ogun West senatorial district (Yewa area), Akinlade (APM) and Gboyega Isiaka of African Democratic Congress (ADC), are vying for the governorship seat.

But the group maintained that Akinlade was considered the better option, after extensive research into his antecedents.

Oyekanmi insisted that Akinlade’s rich legislative experience would be used for the benefit of the state, adding that the only way Ogun people could appreciate outgoing Governor Amosun’s good works was to vote the APM candidate.

Amosun and his Imo state counterpart, Rochas Okorocha, were recently suspended by the ruling party's National Working Committee.

Reacting to his suspension from the ruling party, Okorocha said APC national chairman, Comrade Adams Oshiohmole is plotting to destroy the APC in the southeast.

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
