Just in: Minister Lai Mohammed gives clarification on planned dissolution of Buhari’s cabinet

Alhaji Lai Mohammed, Nigeria’s information and culture minister, said late Thursday, April 25, that the power to dissolve the federal cabinet rests with President Muhammadu Buhari.

Mohammed, in a statement made available to Legit.ng said the fact that the valedictory session of the federal cabinet will be held on May 22, 2019, does not mean that the cabinet will be dissolved on the same day.

The statement said the minister made the clarification over his earlier statement to State House correspondents after the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting held at thePresidential Villa.

Mohammed said it was the prerogative of the President to dissolve the cabinet anytime he chooses.

“It is therefore inaccurate to extrapolate from my statement - that the FEC valedictory session will hold on 22 May - to say that the president will dissolve the cabinet on the same day. They do not mean the same thing,” he said.

Legit.ng earlier reported that President Muhammadu Buhari was reportedly planning to dissolve the federal cabinet on May 22, 2019, before he is sworn in for a second term.

A report had cited Lai Mohammed as noting that as part of the dissolution of the cabinet, the president would hold a valedictory session of the cabinet May 22.

According to the report, Lai Mohammed told journalists shortly after the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting presided over by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, on Thursday, April 25, that the cabinet is still intact until May 22.

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
