Congratulations to the runners up (NAPTU and GBAWE) and the eventually winner ; Katsumoto (seeing Abraham Lincoln rise to the top in you....... Victory at last after many near crown)... Hoping to see more and better side of you all in the coming years.



Thanks to the organisers and the management of Nairaland. God bless you all!

Cheers to Kat, the encyclopedia of nairaland politics section, Congrat. To Gbawe and naptu, you've both contributed to the intellectual discourse on this forum, we appreciate you. Lets do it again next year.

Congrats to Katzzz.... You surely do deserve this

Congrats also to GBAWE and NAPTU 2. You guys are great!!!

Let me first congratulate Katsumoto. A worthy winner who has raised the level of intellectual discourse here. Naptu2 also deserves commendation as an amiable and intelligent poster with threads that tend to unite Nairalanders and confer a spirit of Nigerian 'togetherness' and collective hope in our nation.

I thank those who voted for me immensely and wish everyone a happy Xmas and very prosperous new Year.

Congrats Katz.
Now send me that mail! I've waited impatiently for so long.

Where is Katz nah? Or is he drafting his victory speech?
Remind him not to put kiriji war in his speech o

Firstly, I want to congratulate Katsumoto and thank him for his excellent contributions this year.

I want to thank all the voters, the moderators, Katsumoto, Gbawe and even the observers for making this a rancour free process.

In 2012, nairaland politics section has been a great place to play, learn and share knowledge (despite the awful bigotry that sometimes pops up). This has been due to a great team of moderators and the wonderful posters in this section. I hope that 2013 will provide an even better experience in this section.

Lastly, I want to thank everybody that wrote kind words about me and hope that I can live up to your expectations.

Thank you and season's greetings.

Jarus: NPEC co-chair, Jarus, on behalf of co-chair OAM4J and the entire Nairaland management, climbs the podium. Opens his note to declare result. But a brief speech:
Every poster here is valuable to us. Even the garri team added fun to the party, although we don't encourage such.

Yeah, Thanks!!!

Congrats Katsumoto.

On behalf of I, me, myself and my family and members of GPAN (Garri Producers Association of Nairaland), I want to congratulate Prof. Katsumoto and thank him for his excellent posts this year. I also wish to congratulate High Chief Gbawe & Comrade Naptu2 and thank them for their highly intellectual and mature posts during 2012. Thanks to Jarus for conducting a free and fair election.

I appreciate the mature behavior of all contestants(especially Afam4eva) even in the face of some challenges in administration of the election.

Nairaland politics section is an interesting place. I've learnt a lot from so many of the posters in this section. The diversity of the forumites in beliefs, values, personalities etc adds a lot of color and dynamism to the section.

Lastly I wish YOU ALL a happy, peaceful exciting Christmas as well as a prosperous, bomb-free, kidnapping-free New Year in advance.

Long live Nairaland!
Long live GPAN!!
Long live The Federal Republic of Nigeria!!!

Thanks and God Bless...

Sincerly,

Hon. Garri (x7)

First Executive P.R.O. Garri Republic (Controversial)

Dear Chief Katz,

Heartiest congratulations on your being elected as the POLITICS SECTION POSTER OF THE YEAR.

I wish you a successful tenure and hope that the words from your marble will continue to educate and improve the lots of N/landers.

You deserve your splendid success.

Once again accept my Congratulations!

Congratulations to my AfganJapaneseNigerian friend Katsumoto

Congrats also to Gbawe and Naptu2.

And to all the noble posters of this section, well done, merry Christmas and Happy New year in advance.


Please stay away from ban next year, we can make our points, defend our positions, ethnic groups, political affiliations without insulting others and breaking the forum rules.

Very poor turn out this year. Last year, Gbawe 107 votes, Onlytruth 103 and Katsumoto 36 votes.
Mods, though the polls here have never produced the real poster of the years gone, but the incessant disqualifications is not good for a healthy poll
From the 4th quarter of this year, I think the best poster of 2013 will be between Obinoscopy, Afam, Tomakint and Naptu.

the award is for the whole year

I agree there was low turn out this year,has but I won't be surprised if it's because of open ballot system that did not give room for multiple handles voting.

He is looking at trend

Even at that, the October debate is the magic wand that swing the votes to Katz.

Congratulations to Mr Katsumoto, an intelligent and very consistent poster.

CONGRATS PROFESSOR KATSUMOTO

Yes a few protested by not voting but I think its more of the later, the open balloting did not give room for multiple handles voting. I will suggest open balloting system should be encouraged in all our elections going forward.

OAM4J:

Yeah.

2010 was poorest. We had less than 40 votes, but it was because we were mourning Bawomolo during the period.

The low turnout was due to a boycott to the poll by some section of Politic Section forumites.

Jarus, hiding my post in a bid to stiffen opposition to your draconian rule is immaterial and barbaric to freedom of individual opinion bequeathed to us by God.

Continue to display your level of accommodation and maturity in Nairaland against anybody that questions your autocratic decision.

I know your are intelligent, no question about that. You can also coordinate/moderate difficult debates, which I have seen your qualities in doing so but I want you to go further to separating your opinion and pride when dealing with people of diverse background no matter how foolish our opinion may look.

Thank you.

^ Stop your fixation on Jarus.

I hid your post and that of bluetooth. Any further attempt to 'tribalise' this thread will warrant a ban.

I Ngwakwe tribalistic, I have grown far more than that and you know it.

Just watching against it in people who supposedly are learned and pointing it out.

Would you be surprised if it had to do with discontent over your handling of Afam's suspension? I know we r over it but I can't help but wonder if lessons have been learnt, what with this apparent willful ignorance? My brother, "Denial" isn't only a river in Egypt, it could sometimes be a well respected Mod in Nairaland!

BTW, congrats to Katz.
