Tambuwal stated this after casting his vote at 12:16pm at polling unit 011, JNI Islamiyya Primary School Tambuwal, Shiyar Ajiya.

News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that he said the turnout of voters in the area was impressive and voters were happy as they exercised their constitutional responsibility.

He said: “So far, the conduct is peaceful across Sokoto state; though some challenges have been reported we are happy with the process. Moreover, I want to assure you that I will accept whatever is the outcome of the election in good faith.”

He called on the people of the state to remain calm and be law-abiding during and after the election.

Also the gubernatorial candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state, Alhaji Ahmed Aliyu, has expressed satisfaction over the turnout of voters in the state.

Aliyu described the turnout as overwhelming and encouraging after voting at polling unit 019A, Tudun Wada, Magajin Rafi.

The SDP candidate said he had reported the matter to the appropriate authorities and the issue was being resolved. He, however, expressed hope of winning the election.

Recall that Legit.ng had reported that the governor of Sokoto state, Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, made some revelation concerning the cold political relationships between him and Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.

He also revealed what happened between the leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), the president of the Senate, Bukola Saraki, and Governor Abdul’aziz Yari of Zamfara state.

Tambuwal said Saraki offended Tinubu by kicking against the latter’s plot to run on the same ticket with President Muhammadu Buhari in 2015.

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
