Youths Protest In Ondo, Ask IGP To Arrest Ex-APC Chairman, Kekemeke, Over ‘Inciting’ Comments

Some Youth in Akure, Ondo State, on Friday protested and also demanded the arrest of a former Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Mr Isaacs Kekemeke, over his comment to cause violence in the October 10 governorship election. 

They explained that the statement of Kekemeke had shown that the All Progressives Congress had plans to cause violence in the state during the forthcoming election. 


Speaking on behalf of the youth, Mr Oluwatuyi Adekanbi, said there was a need to call Kekemeke to order to avoid violence and crisis in the state during the election. 

He said, “We call on the Federal Government mostly the President, Muhammadu Buhari, to come to the aid of Ondo State. 

“We won’t allow anyone to be killed in the state because of an election. We don’t want any thug to be dragged into this election. 

“We won’t allow anyone to bring militant to Akure or the state to cause trouble because we won’t take it. 

“We are equally using this medium to warn that nothing must happen to anyone in the state particularly Akure indigenes during the poll.

“If anything untoward like shooting, killings happen in the election, we are calling on the IGP to hold Mr Kekemeke responsible for it.

“He has threatened our people with militants but they would be resisted with full force and we mean it.”

Reacting to the protest, Kekemeke said his statement in the viral video was only “political yabbies and jokes”.

He denied that he had the intention to cause violence on the day of the election, noting that he had always been a man of peace. 

He said, “What I said was only political talk but it was misconstrued and twisted. I have no intention of what I have said, and I don’t have the capacity to do such. 

“I am not an agent of violence, I am an agent of peace. I have advised that the youth should also resist being used by any politician.”

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
