 “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. Our children cannot progress without electricity." "I was born ANC, but today I do not want anyone to tell me about the ANC because I am suffering," added 57-year-old resid...

OPENING REMARKS BY THE MINISTER OF INFORMATION AND CULTURE, ALHAJI LAI
MOHAMMED, AT THE 5TH EDITION OF THE ''PMB ADMINISTRATION SCORECARD 2015-2023'' SERIES IN ABUJA ON MONDAY, 28 NOV. 2022.

PROTOCOL

2.  I welcome you all, once again, to the 'PMB Administration Scorecard 2015-2023 Series'. This is the fifth edition of the series, which we launched in October to showcase the achievements of the Buhari Administration. To date, we have had presentations from the Honourable Ministers of Works and Housing, Transportation, Aviation as well as Interior. Today, the Honourable Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development will brief us on the achievements of his Ministry.

3.   Please note that on Thursday, Dec. 1st, it will be the turn of the Honourable Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment to brief us.

4.   Before today's presentation, please permit me to quickly make an announcement. It has come to the attention of the government that Nigerian travellers to the United States and some countries in Europe are having their belongings, especially money and international passports, stolen at an increasingly high
rate. The most recent victims of this are travelers to the UK, most of whom were dispossessed of their belongings at high brow shops, particularly in the high street of Oxford. We have therefore decided to advise Nigerians travelling to Europe and the United States to take extra precaution to avoid being dispossessed of their belongings.

5.  This is not your typical travel advisory. Issuing such is the prerogative of our embassies/high commissions as well as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. It is merely a piece of advice to Nigerians who may be visiting the affected parts of the world. 

6.  May I now call on the Honourable Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development to make his presentations, after which we'll take questions from the gentlemen of the press. 

Honourable Minister please!.
