The governor-elect of Imo state, Emeka Ihedioha, has given a description of his government beginning from May 29, when he would take over from outgoing Rochas Okorocha.

“I want to reiterate my earlier promise that I will adopt the entire state as my constituency.

“I am also committed to upholding fairness, equity and justice in handling the affairs of the state,” Ihedioha promised.

Vanguard reports that Ihedioha commended the diocesan bishop, Rt Rev Chamberlain Ogunedo, the priests and laity for organizing the thanksgiving service.

“As a soldier of Christ, I shall remain a good ambassador of the Anglican communion,” he said while describing his victory as “a victory for democracy in Imo state.”

“It was reassuring that the people of Owerri, Orlu and Okigwe collectively voted massively for me,” the governor-elect said as he promised not to disappoint the people of the state.

He also promised to uphold the principles of fairness, equity and justice for all in the state.

The report added that Ihedioha has set up his inauguration planning committee ahead of his official swearing-in ceremony.

Chibuike Onyeukwu, the media aide to the governor-elect said this in a statement in Owerri, the capital of the state.

The committee has Chris Okewulonu as the chairman; Jones Onyereri as its deputy chairman and Ray Emeana as the sectary.

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.

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
