WHY RENTED CROWD IS IMPORTANT IN NIGERIA POLITICS


To understand the importance of crowd in political campaign rallies and how it can affect actual voting, we need to look at IT within Nigeria economic, social and political context/environment.

Anybody that can be paid 500 naira or more to attend a rally of a political party to help showcase the party as Formidable can easily be made to vote that party on election day with the same amount of money.

Alot of people who participate as rented Crowd tend to dominate those with PVC. People in this category have already considered thier PVC thier MMM( money making machine).

Many of these people even though they may have a preferred candidate,they are generally not fanatical about thier preferred candidate. Those that are very fanatical are less likely to participate as rented Crowd to boost a candidate they passionately don't like. U need much more money to buy the fanatical ones who don't like you. In a society with so many people, nobody rent expensive crowd when there are cheap ones. One vote is one vote and one head in a crowd is one head.

Below is the crowd (Both rented and voluntary) in Buhari campaign in Uyo. All these people can be bought easily to vote Buhari if they are rented. That is the reality.

Let me conclude with the statement of Bishop kukah on vote buying.

Mr. This your theory holds no water.
Most times most of the rented crowd comes from neighbouring states. And once the event is over they return to their abode ...the local politicians benefits nothing by way of votes only the balance left after the expenses for the show.


Another issue is that no matter the crowd present at any political rally the numbers of eligible voters at home and at work earning their daily bread is still many times much more than that crowd

Buhari was in Calabar today and but for the large numbers of security people that came from out side the state to compliment the ones based here the event would have gone largely unnoticed....the reason remains that the numbers of people at their place of work and business is still many times more than those idle hands and core politicians with the time and interest to make themselves available for such event

Most voters already had their preferred candidate the every day they queued up for the voter's card and it will take a very serious event to persuaded them otherwise

The value of Campaign rallies is yet to be determined in this part of the world
