Nairaland's Politics Section's Hall Of Fame - 2010 Inductee(SLS) by Nobody: 10:15am On Dec 17, 2010
BACKGROUND:
Nairaland, as you all know, has become a force to reckon with in political discussions among Nigerians and non-Nigerians in the cyberspace. It's place in Nigeria's political punditry has been sealed, and high profile politicians and their PR men have recognized the weight of this site in opinion formation, analysis and test of acceptability. For a forum that influential, it is not out of place to have formal declarations on the performing and non-performing public office holders. This is why we are taking up the challenge of assessing our public figures and coming out with the one with the best and worst records in each year, and placing each of them in their place in history.

MODUS OPERANDI
We called for nomination from members of this forum in each category and two weeks, we compiled the list on nominees. The top three nominees will be up for poll, so that people whose nominees did not make the top 3 can pick from teh three finalists. At the end of the poll, which will last for two weeks, we will have the OFFICIAL INDUCTEES into both categories.

BRIEF PROFILE OF NOMINEES - HALL OF FAME(2010)
1, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi: Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria. He won his way into people's hearts for his 'say it as it is' attitude. Although he is always in the news, his highlight in 2010 is criticizing the Nigerian legislators jumbo pay, advocating that less shoudl be spent on recurrent expenditure, and more on capex, if this country must progress. The comment drew the ire of NASS members, and the lanky CBN boss came out a hero, to the applause of Nigerians. In a country where the National Assembly has been turned into a lion's den, not a few people commended the apex bank boss' courage.

2, Babatunde Raji Fashola: In Nigeria's recent history, no Nigerian governor has come close to receiving the quantum of accolades this man receives on daily basis. Described as a great administrator, Fashola has changed the face of Lagos within a very short time. He has embarked on numerous capital projects within the state. He has become a reference point in good governance in Nigeria today, and many people are tipping him for Vice-Presidency.

3, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan: Described as a breath of fresh air, Goodluck Jonathan's ascension to presidency is a clear case of divine providence. His highlight in 2010 is the removal removal of the much derided Maurice Iwu as INEC chair and putting radical university teacher, Attahiru Jega, as replacement, a decision one cannot fault. His power sector reform has also been salutary. Many Nigerians also see him as a humble leader, and a departure from old, recycled politicians.

4, Rauf Aregbesola: If there is one lesson that can be learnt from this Ilesa-born, Engineer-turned-politician's reclaim of his mandate in Osun state, it is a lesson in relentlessness. Many people have written off that case. Many people have given up, but the man rode on. Now he is the governor of Osun state. He has been able to displace usurpers of powers, after a protracted court battle.

This thread is not open for discussion, just a poll. The discussion has taken place in the nomination thread. So only vote is entertained here, no comment.
Thanks
