 “No electricity, no vote,” South Africans threaten to shun ruling party ANC Residents in Katlehong, a township outside Johannesburg, have resolved to boycott South Africa's upcoming local elections on November 4 due to long-standing failures by authorities to provide basic services like electricity. For over 20 years, around 180 households in the community have relied on illegal electrical connections pulled from neighboring areas to power their homes. Angry over the lack of formal grid infrastructure, residents are directing their frustration at the ruling African National Congress (ANC). "We have made a collective decision: no electricity, no vote," said community leader Lesiba Rankapole, 59. "We know it is illegal, but we had no choice because we cannot live without electricity.

You Have Done Nothing to Warrant Commendation, Ologbondiyan Tells Yahaya Bello


The National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Kola Ologbondiyan has described Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi state as a colossal failure and catastrophic bad luck, who cannot point to any development project he implemented for the benefit of the people.


Ologbondiyan, who spoke during his tour of PDP formation in the state at the weekend lamented that Governor Yayaha Bello has “stagnated and turned Kogi into the most backward state in the country, with so much devastation, infrastructural decay, poverty and institutionalized hopelessness”


The PDP spokesperson, dismissed as “hopeless lie” the false news being circulated by the Kogi government that he commended Governor Yahaya Bello for a road project, saying that such “cannot even happen in their pipe dream as Yahaya Bello has done absolutely nothing to merit any form of commendation”.


“It is indeed pathetic that Yahaya Bello has resorted to fake news in his desperate forum shopping for unmerited approval. The resort to fake new has further exposed his childishness and pathetic desperation to use patriotic Nigerians in his search for undeserved endorsement.


“I have but pity for Yahaya Bello and I advise him to desist from such childishness and irresponsible actions. There is nothing to commend him about. Nothing! He has brought only pain, hardship and stagnation to Kogi state,” Ologbondiyan stated.


Ologbondiyan counseled Governor Yahaya Bello to “repent and utilize the resources of the people of Kogi state for their benefit including infrastructural recovery as well as paying workers and pensioners whose salaries and entitlements have been wickedly withheld for years”  


The PDP spokesman, urged the people of Kogi state and Nigerians at large to continue in rallying with the PDP, particularly as the party opens its e-registration exercise in furtherance of the collective effort to rescue our nation from the lies, misrule and stranglehold of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
