Real Reason Governor Akeredolu Of Ondo Sacked State’s Attorney-General

Adekola Olawoye

Facts have emerged on the real reason Ondo governor, Rotimi Akeredolu, sacked Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice in the state, Mr Adekola Olawoye.

The sack of the commissioner was announced on Monday through a statement by the Chief Press Secretary of the governor, Segun Ajiboye.

Charles Titiloye, a human rights lawyer, has since been announced as Olawoye’s replacement.

Despite being from the same town of Owo, SaharaReporters gathered that things began to fall apart between the two men after Olawoye started rejecting some obscene demands from the state governor.

A top government source, who confirmed this to SaharaReporters, disclosed that the duo had been at loggerheads for over six months over legal issues.

Governor Akeredolu Sacks Ondo Attorney-General

The recent suspension of some lawmakers in the state’s House of Assembly further deepened the division between Olawoye and Akeredolu.

“The sacked Attorney-General is a man who has integrity and conscience. He does not abhor illegality at all because he is highly principled and knows the implication of any illegality that has to do with the law.

“You remember how the crisis in the state House of Assembly started. The AG had been advising that the suspended lawmakers be reinstated because they have a constituency they are representing but the governor refused this despite the court judgment ordering their reinstatement.

“But the last straw that broke the camel’s back is that the governor wanted Olawoye to make his sister-in-law, one Prof Alero, a judge in the state’s high court.

“He wanted the sister-in-law to fill a vacant position of Justice Dele Olupitan, who died recently in the state’s high court.

“The woman by birth is from Delta State and already we have more qualified Ondo State indigenes to fill this slot but Akeredolu is refusing and wants his sister-in-law.

“She is purely an academician and has been in the academics for over 20 years. She has not seen the four walls of the court nor had a history of a case to herself in any court.

“I’m aware that recommendations have been made to the National Judicial Council and they have picked an indigene of the state with good credentials but the governor is refusing that he only wants his sister in-law.

“The governor even said he won’t inaugurate anyone than his own choice which is Prof Alero.

“The governor sees the AG as someone who is not doing his bidding and it is the main reason why he booted him out of that office.

“Even, the Chief Judge (Mrs Oluwatoyin Akeredolu), is not in good terms with the governor because the woman has been trying to avoid him because she knows Akeredolu likes perpetrating illegality.

“I know the sledgehammer would still come on her too because she too doesn’t take nonsense or accede to illegality,” the source said.

When SaharaReporters contacted Mr Olawoye over his sack, he said he was yet to receive any official letter to that effect but promised to react soon.

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
