The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has expressed optimism that its presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, will emerge victorious at the election tribunal just like it did in Zamfara state.

The party in a statement on Saturday, May 25, issued by its national publicity secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, in Abuja, congratulated Zamfara state governor-elect, Bello Matawalle, all federal and state legislators-elect on their victory in the 2019 general elections.

Ologbondiyan described the outcome of the elections as the triumph of the will of the people over manipulative forces.

He said that the victory was a clear pointer to the fact that no matter how long manipulations and anti-democratic tendencies appeared to be to thriving, justice and the will of the people would always prevail eventually.

He assured the people of Zamfara of a purposeful, people-based, and result-oriented leadership that would unite and revitalise the state for the greater good, in line with the wishes and aspirations of the people.

According to Ologbondiyan, Zamfara is blessed with abundant human and natural resources that the in-coming administration can harness for the overall wellbeing of the people.

He, therefore, urged the people of the state to resist all forces of division and unite behind their new leaders to move the state forward.

Meanwhile, Governor Abdulaziz Yari of Zamfara state has reportedly summoned leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state to an emergency meeting.

The Cable reports that a source at the government house, Gusau, the state capital, disclosed this on Saturday, May 25.

The source reportedly said the meeting is about the Supreme Court verdict on the 2019 elections in the state.

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.

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
