A coalition of six political groups, including the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) have unanimously endorsed the candidature of Alhaji Abdullahi Sule, of the All Progressive Congress (APC) in Nasarawa state.

Malam Umar Yusuf, the national secretary of NANS, who made this known on Thursday, March 7, in a statement on behalf of the other groups, said the seven groups had agreed to work with the APC in the March 9 governorship and state House of Assembly elections.

Yusuf said the groups endorsed Sule after due consultations and considerations with the relevant stakeholders in the state, who all agreed to work for the APC governorship candidate.

He listed the groups as: Nasarawa Youths and Students Leaders Forum (NYSLF) Nasarawa Youths Empowerment Forum (NYEF) Vote in Silas Agara (VISA) – Nasarawa State deputy governor’s support group- and the APC Comrades Forum.

He said others were; the Non Indigenous Youth Forum (NIYOF) and Active Females Coalition (AFC).

According to Lawal, the groups decided to endorse the APC following a meeting in Akwanga, Nasarawa state, because of the tremendous support they had been receiving from Agara, the deputy governor and chieftain of the party.

According to him, Governor Umaru Al-makura has, to a large extent, fulfilled his campaign promises by giving scholarships, building hostels in tertiary institutions; as well as building and equipping libraries.

Lawal said voting for the APC candidate would ensure the consolidation of the good work of Al-Makura in the state.

He expressed delight that Sule had promised to do more than what the governor had done.

According to him, the candidate’s wealth of experience in the private sector that spanned more than 30 years would be of immense benefit to the economic growth of the state.

He said Sule was the only candidate that had demonstrated the capacity to carry everybody along irrespective of tribe or religion.

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
