Answer:

Niyi employs satire to critique 'the political brawls and estimations of Nigeria's major linguistic groups.'

Explanation:

As we know, satire is a literary device that primarily aims to ridicule or critique the social or political follies in order to bring it to attention. In the poem titled 'The Leader and the led' by Niyi Osundare, satire has been employed to mock the major political groups of Nigeria who are in the rat race to gain political power as well as money. He also <u>ridicules them by saying that they even fail to glorify their best leaders and constantly being involved in buying votes, murdering people to gain power, and turning animalistic in nature</u>.
