The awards ceremony, according to the Coordinator, Mr. Rufus Oba, will be based on merit, achievements, projects, and programmes, among other criteria.

The awards, Oba said further, will also be a good avenue for Nigerians to vent their anger, displeasure on politicians, and policies that are non-friendly to the people, while politicians who have performed well will also be encouraged.

 “It is the people’s choice award. It will serve as a report card for the politicians and as a scorecard for the electorate, starting with the local government chairmen all across the country to the legislators at the state and national assemblies, ministers,” he added.
