Abstract:

Many political verses have emerged in the Fourth Republic in Nigeria. It is during this republic or political era that many poets composed poems of diversified themes; on parties‟ manifestos, aspirational candidate, party leaders and many more. There are, infact some other poems that are being composed to praise individuals only. Although these poems are political ones, hardly the names of the polical parties are mentioned in the poems. However, what predominates the poems superficially is the praise of the particular candidate, the poet is concerned with. Sometimes the party is only mentioned in the chorus. The findings of this research revealed the factors responsible for this type of poems. The chapter one of this work consists of problems, hyphothesis, objectives and scope and delimitation to the research. The theory of formalism and structuralism used for this research is also discussed in the chapter. The second chapter is made up of the literature review. The chapter three of this work contains analyses of the selected Hausa Political Verses in the Fourth Republic from ANNP, CPC and PDP. In chapter four, the style and structure of the selected poems have been analysed. Chapter five consists of the research findings and recommendations. The research has come out with new trend in Hausa Political Poetry, where the political poets, tilted toward the candidate not the party manifesto. It also discovered the new technique adopted by the Hausa political poets, in campaign composing poetry with full of simile and metaphors. The work has clearly discovered the departure of the contemporary Hausa poets and the traditional poets in the 60th and 90th.
