The have plenty to do with each other. Zero intelligence doesn't allow for any semblance of consciousness. There can be no consciousness if there's no information processing.
Also they have in common that they are both defined in a terribly handwayvy manner that's bordering on useless.
The reason consciousness is not defined in any reducible manner beyond “the lights are on” or “first person experience” is because it is an irreducible aspect of reality. Instead of seeing it for what it is you instead invent some trivial definition that has nothing to do with anything.
“Zero intelligence cannot have consciousness…”
Based on your complete misunderstanding of the concept sure. But there’s no reason intelligence is required for the actual concept of phenomenal consciousness.
Wasn't that claimed about so so many things since before science existed and basically almost every time it turned out that we thought that just because of our ignorance? Ignorance so deep that often we didn't even knew yet how to properly define the thing we were trying to figure out?

That's a pretty strong evidence that phenomenal consciousness makes no sense whatsoever.
