 “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...

 2027 Presidency: Wike Hints at Massive 'Rainbow Coalition' for Tinubu as Governor Adeleke Visits


Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister, Nyesom Wike, has hinted at the formation of a formidable political alliance, describing it as the “largest rainbow coalition,” to champion President Bola Tinubu’s re-election bid in 2027.


Speaking with journalists in Abuja on Friday, August 21, Wike revealed that the Nigerian political landscape is set for a massive realignment. His comments followed a high-profile visit by the newly re-elected Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, to his Abuja residence on Thursday.


A 'Walkover' in 2027


Wike expressed strong confidence in President Tinubu’s prospects for a second term, asserting that the opposition is currently too fragmented to pose any serious challenge. He declared that the 2027 presidential election is already shaping up to be a “walkover” for the incumbent administration.


“In the next few weeks, watch what is going to happen. You will see the largest rainbow coalition supporting President Tinubu,” Wike stated, indicating that major cross-party alliances are imminent.


Adeleke and Davido Visit FCT Minister


The FCT minister claimed that Governor Adeleke, despite being a prominent member of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), is now functionally aligned with the pro-Tinubu movement. Adeleke recently secured a hard-fought victory to retain his seat as the governor of Osun State.


Following his receipt of the Certificate of Return, Governor Adeleke, accompanied by his nephew, the global Afrobeat sensation David Adeleke (popularly known as Davido), paid a courtesy visit to Wike. This visit has fueled intense speculation about the Governor’s political leanings and future party loyalty ahead of the next general elections.
