EXAMINATION
OF THE LEVEL OF POLITICAL PARTICIPATION OF THE RURALITIES
CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1BACKGROUND
OF THE STUDY
Political
participation includes the political activities of citizens aimed at
influencing the political process. Such participation could be either in an
individual or group basis. The political process may be the ways, directions
and methods of governance or the input of the outcomes of the process. The
political activities that may involve their participation: selection of
leaders, influencing decision of government and the process of governance.
(Okafor 2002).
Political
participation includes those action of private cities by which they seek to
influence or support government and politics. Political participation could
either be conventional or orthodox and unconventional or unorthodox. Writing on
convention and non-conventional political participation. Janda et. al. state as
follows:-
Thus,
conventional participation is legal, constitutional, acceptable and normal.
Activities here may include voting, campaigns and attendance to party meetings,
expressing political opinions, standing for
elections, registration as a party member and as a voter for an election
contesting for elective offices, party funding. These activities are in
consonance with the normal political process. Unconventional political
participation includes those activities that are not acceptable, not regarded
as lawful and legal, not sanctioned or not normal. They include such activities
as riots, strikes, violent, demonstration, arson, boycotts, rebellion,
terrorism, cultism, protests, and the like. It is felt that a higher propensity
for the emergence of unconventional participation is accentuated by the
existence of narrow or very limited conventional modes. For people to express
their feelings and be heard under a trained mode they have to resort to
unconventional approaches.
Conventional
(orthodox) political participation is of two fold. There could be supportive
participation or influencing participation. Under the supportive dimension, our
citizens express allegiance or loyalty to the state and government. Examples
include singing the national anthem, reciting the national pledge or making
reference to such symbols as the national flag and the coat of arms, turning
out for voting purpose, etc.
The
influencing dimension is concerned with efforts to modify or reverse government
policy to suit political interests. Examples include trying to secure some
benefits from government, asking for special social or welfare services from
the government such as setting up a health canter, construction or
rehabilitation of roads, sitting, a public school or police post. e. t. c.
