Senator Wadada: Hiring Crowd Is Not Capacity, It Is Camouflage
By Ibrahim Musa Andafu
***
A Facebooker mentioned that some people were hired or lobbied to attend Senator Ahmed Aliyu Wadada's turbaning ceremony in Lafia today. If that claim holds any truth, then it calls for honest reflection. He was turbaned as Magajin Dangin Lafia Bare-Bari.
Capacity is not determined by the number of people gathered, but by the genuine connection between a leader and the people. When individuals are paid to attend an event, they disappear once the money or influence wears off. But when people are inspired, they remain committed even after the event ends.
Hiring or persuading people to show up is not a demonstration of strength, it is a clear sign of desperation. True popularity does not require rented claps or staged loyalty. It is revealed through the quiet yet sincere support of ordinary people who believe in the values a leader represents.
We must learn to separate real support from artificial appearance. Genuine followership builds lasting respect, while manufactured crowds only feed temporary illusion. Not every large crowd is a sign of greatness, just as not every applause is a sign of approval.
Meanwhile, a personality with capacity, national connection,and influence do not need to hired people in order to fake his popularity.
At the end of the day, it is not about how many people came, but why they came. That reason, not the number, defines the true value of leadership.
