Buhari Government Keeping Sowore To Eliminate Him Extrajudicially, AAC Alleges

The Association of State Chairmen of the African Action Congress has described the stalling of the bail process of its National Chairman, Omoyele Sowore, by the President Muhammadu Buhari-led government as an attempt to keep him in custody so he could be allegedly killed extrajudicially.

The association however vowed to mobilise its members from across the country to go to the streets next Monday to demand the release of the human rights activist.

The Nigerian government on Friday refused to produce the activist alongside four others at a magistrates’ court.

Their bail applications were to be determined by the Chief Magistrate, Mabel Segun-Bello.

The party said the delay was deliberate and a plot aimed to perpetuate an alleged evil plan.

In a statement issued in Abuja on Friday, which was jointly signed by Murtala Adamu, (Niger); Rex Elanu, (Benue State); Usman Zush (Kano); Buhari Olanrewaju (Kwara); Ameen Abdul (Federal Capital Territory) and Kunle Wizeman Ajayi (Lagos), on behalf of the state chairmen, said they had it on good authority that two meetings were held between Thursday and Friday, and moderated by key loyalists of President Muhammadu Buhari and the All Progressives Congress.

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
