Why APC claimed Atiku is not a Nigerian

Why APC claimed Atiku is not a Nigerian - PDP chieftaim

- A former PDP governorship aspirant in Anambra state, Zeribe Ezeanunna, slammed the ruling APC for claiming Atiku is a Cameroonian, not a Nigerian

- Ezeanunna alleged that APC came up with the claim in order to divert Nigerians' attention because it knew that Atiku won the election clearly

- The PDP chieftain, however, boasted that the APC's ploy will fail, adding that Atiku would eventually be declared winner of the 2019 presidential election

A former governorship aspirant on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Anambra state during last election, Zeribe Ezeanunna, has also reacted to the claim by the All Progressive Congress (APC) that Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, the PDP presidential candidate, was not a Nigerian but a Cameroonian.

Ezeanunna, according to Daily Independent, slammed that ruling party, saying the claim is “evil, idiotic, diversionary and a deliberate ploy by APC to divert attention that they did not win last presidential election in the country.”

The PDP chieftain, however, boasted that the APC's ploy will fail, adding that Atiku would eventually be declared winner of the 2019 presidential election.

Ezeanunna also reported said that Atiku is a full fledged Nigerian, born in Nigeria and that “any attempt to distort history was evil and should be condemned”.

He reiterated that Atiku was born a Nigerian and that APC leadership was aware of it and was trying to divert attention because it knew that Atiku won the election clearly.

Reacting to the alleged plan by the APC leadership to exclude the southeast from occupying key leadership positions in the ninth National Assembly, Ezeanunna said that the development had confirmed Igbo people's belief that the party did not want them.

He appealed to Igbo people in the APC to learn their lesson in time and have a rethink and start looking for other parties where they would be accommodated.

The PDP chieftain also said that the belief that APC would give Igbo the presidency position in 2023 was a mere joke.

Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that Atiku had also reacted to the claim by the APC that he is not a Nigerian citizen.

The APC had filed a motion at the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal in Abuja saying Atiku has no right to challenge the result of the 2019 presidential election as he was not a Nigerian.

The APC said Atiku’s case lacked merit as he was a Cameroonian and therefore has no right to stand for election.

However, reacting to the claim, Atiku, who spoke through his media aide, Paul Ibe, said that it is an insult to Nigerians and the office of Vice President, which he (Atiku) occupied for eight years, for the APC to allege that he is not a Nigerian.

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
