 “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.

"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.

 Northern Christian Group Backs President Tinubu, Seeks Senator Danjuma Laah’s Return To Senate


The Northern Christian Network for Sustainable Development (NCN-SD) has expressed support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and called for the return of former Senator Danjuma Tella Laah to the National Assembly.


The group, comprising Christian leaders, clerics, and development advocates from across Northern Nigeria, made this known during a courtesy visit to Senator Laah at his Abuja residence on Tuesday.


Led by its National Coordinator, Hon. Christopher A. Jallo, the network described Senator Laah as “a leader who has consistently advocated for Northern minorities and promoted inclusive governance.”


Jallo said the organization plans to engage churches, Christian fellowships, and development centers in Northern Nigeria to encourage participation in national development and governance under the Tinubu administration.


“Our message to Christians in the North is that engagement and dialogue are vital for inclusiveness. Senator Laah’s leadership and commitment have inspired renewed confidence in the government’s outreach to all communities,” Jallo stated.


He added that the NCN-SD believes Senator Laah’s experience and record of service make him “a credible representative for the region” and that his return to the Senate would “enhance representation for Northern minorities.”


Senator Danjuma Laah, a former lawmaker representing Kaduna South Senatorial District, is recognized for his contributions to local enterprise, agriculture, and education in Southern Kaduna.
