What Atiku will do if presidential election tribunal verdict fails to favour him - Showunmi

- Segun Showunmi says Atiku Abubakar will accept the verdict of the presidential election petition tribunal concerning the recent elections

- Showunmi discloses that Atiku has promised not to allow Nigeria experience any crisis or tension arising from his defeat at the election

The aide says even though Atiku believes he will reclaim his mandate, he remains president in the heart of Nigerians

Atiku Abubakar, presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PPD) in the February 23, 2019, election, will accept the ruling of the tribunal concerning his petition, his aide, Segun Showunmi.

He added, however, that there was hope that Atiku would reclaim his mandate.

The petition challenges the announcement of President Muhammadu Buhari as winner of the election by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

Showunmi said Atiku has promised not to allow Nigeria experience crisis or violence any reason.

The former vice president, according to the aide, is more interested in institutional reforms that would enhance national development.

Daily Trust reports that Showunmi, who spoke in a media chat in Abuja, however, expressed hope that the tribunal verdict would favour his principal and in line with the professional standards of the judges.

He denied claims by some people that Atiku had the backing of some foreign powers.

“We hope and pray that the cankerworm, nepotism, corruption and lack of integrity that has eaten deep into the fabrics of this society would be caught.

“But it’s up to the courts to demonstrate that they are immune. And I think this election tribunal will do its work.

“People want to know how it will go, and of course, we don’t have a choice, we will accept the verdict of history, we will accept the verdict of the court,” he said.

He said no matter how anyone would look at it, Atiku is already the winner of the 2019 presidential election in the minds of the people.

“Atiku is not going to be silenced with whatever the outcome will be,” he added.

Legit.ng earlier reported how Peter Obi, running mate to Atiku Abubakar, on Wednesday, May 8, attended an election petition tribunal sitting.

The presidential election tribunal made its first sitting over a petition filed by Atiku Abubakar and others concerning the processes and outcome of the 2019 polls.

Meanwhile, President Muhammadu Buhari asked the tribunal handling the case of the presidential election filed against his victory by Atiku Abubakar to first determine his preliminary objection seeking to dismiss the petition by the Peoples Democratic Party and its candidate at the pre-hearing stage.

President Buhari’s lead counsel, Wole Olanipekun (SAN), said the petition was by his client on April 16.

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
