 “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...

 Arewa Group Condemns Northern Lawmakers For Supporting Nnamdi Kanu’s Release


The Coalition of Northern Groups (CNG) has criticized federal lawmakers, particularly those from the North, for supporting the call to release the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.


The call for Kanu’s release has gained momentum with prominent Nigerians, including legislators, advocating for his freedom.


In a statement issued by the CNG, the group labeled the support from northern lawmakers as treacherous and unpatriotic.


The Coalition expressed dismay that northern representatives would back a move they see as an affront to the memory of those who died due to Kanu’s secessionist actions.


“We are shocked that House of Representatives members, including those from Northern Nigeria, are supporting the release of a terrorist being held on charges before a court of competent jurisdiction,” Comrade Jamilu Aliyu Charanchi, the National Coordinator of CNG said.


The group stated that the demand for Kanu’s release undermines the rule of law and the authority of the Nigerian judiciary.


“This is a blatant attempt to subvert the rule of law and undermine the authority of the Nigerian judiciary.


“Where were they when Nnamdi Kanu and his people were killing and are still killing the Northerners in the east? Where were they when the properties of the Northerners were destroyed by him?” Charanchi asked.


The Coalition expressed their discontent with northern lawmakers, stating that their actions could demoralize security operatives who have lost colleagues to the violence associated with IPOB.


“This will further demoralize the security operatives seeing the killer of their loved ones celebrated in the NASS instead of apprehended,” the statement read.


While acknowledging that southeastern leaders, including legislators, governors, and traditional authorities, have historically supported Kanu, CNG condemned the northern lawmakers who joined the cause.


“We are not surprised by the position of the southeastern legislators, their governors, religious and traditional leaders, being accomplices and supporters of Nnamdi Kanu’s atrocities, but condemn in totality all Northern lawmakers who endorsed this treachery,” the group added.
