Can someone explain to me the purpose of the circus? Are these aspirants on sightseeing or chasing donations, otherwise, what is the point, when their audience can't vote? Are these aspirants expecting their Nigerian audience - more like a bunch of people on a day-out, to call their villages afterwards and commandeer the whole village to vote for them? Why are they not in the villages themselves chasing votes - selling their policies to the people that matters, kissing babies, shaking hands, receiving abuse and heckles and rotten food thrown at them, and even dodging bullets etc.?
