Just in: Governor Wike recalls 12 suspended Rivers chairmen

The Rivers state governor, Nyesom Wike, on Sunday, May 12, recalled all the 12 local government chairmen councils earlier suspended by his administration.

The governor in a statement by his special assistant on electronic media, Simon Nwakaudu said the recall of the local government chairmen is with immediate effect.

The Nation reports that Nwakaudu also said the governor charged all the council chairmen to diligently serve their people and shun all forms of lackadaisical behaviour in governance.

He also urged them to tackle the issues of security challenges in their respective local government areas while warning that any chairman who continues to act in breach of extant laws would be shown the way out.

Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that Governor Wike said he is tired of being a governor after the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) presented him his certificate of return as the re-elected governor of Rivers state.

The Rivers state governor said that he would not contest for a third term even if the constitution permitted him.

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.

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
