In the spirit of campaign season, Lawyer and consultant, Toyin Olankanpo, is campaigning for another nominee to win the YNaija Person of the Year. For those who are not aware, the Y!/YNaija.com Person of the Year is awarded to the individual who has most visibly influenced the Nigerian society for good in the past year, breaking new boundaries or consolidating on gains – and driving the advancement of the public, especially young people.

Barely two days after the list of nominees was released, people began to canvass for votes.

Toyin Olankanpo (@ToyinO1) believes the paralympics team deserve the win, after all they succeeded where others failed.  The paralympics team ensured Nigeria “smashed at least two world records thanks to Flora Ugwunwa in Javelin and to Josephine Orji who shattered the world record with a lift of 160 kg in the women’s +84 kg lifting event.” We have to say, 12 medals is no small feat.

I may not have the reach of @yinkanubi but I think the team that won 8 golds for Nigeria deserve our #Ynaija vote https://t.co/GZlVkQJyVT pic.twitter.com/CZmWYaBg7V
