EXCLUSIVE: Fear Grips Ondo Executive Council Members As COVID-19 Results Are Awaited

Fear has seized Ondo State Executive Council members as they await results of their COVID-19 tests.

Cabinet members were made to undergo a compulsory Coronavirus test after Governor Rotimi Akeredolu was confirmed to have contracted the virus earlier in the week.

Apart from Akeredolu, his wife, Betty, some of their aides and several other government officials have all been confirmed to have the virus.

On Thursday, Commissioner for Health in the state, Wahab Adegbenro, died of Coronavirus complications after being ill for a few days.

As a result of this development, cabinet members are now living in fear especially as they all await the outcome of the test conducted on them. See Also Breaking News BREAKING: Ondo State Governor, Akeredolu, Tests Positive For COVID-19 0 Comments 3 Days Ago

SaharaReporters gathered that apart from executive council members, lawmakers in the state also undertook the test and are also awaiting the outcome.

A source in government told our correspondent that almost everyone around the governor was now in fear as they do not know what the outcome of their own test result would be.

"I can confirm to you that nobody is resting in government and everyone who has undergone the COVID-19 test is just too scared.

"Like myself, I'm scared of the result because some of us have had close contacts with the governor and some cabinet members have already contracted the virus. Everyone is in fear,” the source said.

It was gathered that no fewer than four commissioners in Ondo State were presently in self-isolation after contracting the virus.

Commissioner for Information in the state, Mr Donald Ojogo, accused the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control of leaking the COVID-19 test results of high profile individuals and state government officials to the public.

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 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
