Rivers Governor, Wike, Fires Warning To Oshiomhole Over Comments On Supreme Court Bayelsa Verdict


Rivers State governor, Nyesom Wike, has called on the Nigerian Government to warn the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Adams Oshiomhole, to stop making inflammatory remarks capable of destabilising the country. 

The governor also berated the former Edo State governor for saying that there will be no swearing-in of the PDP candidate in Bayelsa State, adding that he had no such powers.

He said, "The Federal Government should warn Oshiomhole to stop making remarks that will destabilise Nigeria.  See Also Politics JUST IN: Nobody‘ll Be Sworn In As Governor In Bayelsa On Friday, Says All Progressives Congress Chairman, Oshiomhole 0 Comments 5 Hours Ago  

"What he is doing in Edo State is not proper and he should not bring it to the rest of the Niger Delta."

Wike said Oshiomhole lacked the power to make pronouncements after the Supreme Court had ruled on a matter. 

He stated, "Who is Oshiomhole to determine who has spread in a state? Supreme Court has made a ruling. It is unfortunate for Oshiomhole to come forward to say that nobody will be sworn-in.

"It is unfortunate what Oshiomhole is doing because he wants to retain his position as National Chairman of their party. APC Governors  have rejected him, that is why he is struggling to prove that he is fighting for the party. 

"He is making statements as if he owns the country. This is the same way he is carrying on in Edo State by fighting the governor.  

"He believes that he has the forces to cause crisis. He is arrogating powers to himself, which is not good."

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
