Liverpool's American owner John Henry has said there are no plans to sell the Premier League club after the Merseyside outfit's owners said in November they were exploring a sale.



Fenway Sports Group (FSG), which completed a 300 million pounds ($358 million) takeover of the club in 2010, said three months ago that they would explore the option of bringing in investors if it was in Liverpool's "best interest".

After FSG's initial statement, Liverpool chairman Tom Werner said there was no urgency to complete any potential deal.

Henry was quoted by the Boston Sports Journal in an interview published on Sunday as saying: "I know there has been a lot of conversation and quotes about Liverpool, but I keep to the facts: we merely formalised an ongoing process.

"Will we be in England forever? No. Are we selling Liverpool? No.
Are talking with investors about Liverpool? Yes.
Will something happen there? I believe so, but it won't be a sale. Have we sold anything in the past 20-plus years?"

Liverpool's rivals Manchester United, owned by the American Glazer family, are also exploring a sale, with confirmed bids from British billionaire Jim Ratcliffe's INEOS and Sheikh Jassim Bin Hamad Al Thani, a son of Qatar's former prime minister.

The Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, on Thursday promised to supply commercial banks with plenty of funds to address the new Naira note scarcity in Kogi State.


Kogi CBN Branch Controller, Ahmed Sule, made the vow while speaking with NAN in his office in Lokoja.

Recall that protesters had on Wednesday picketed some commercial banks over purported non-compliance with the apex bank’s directive to make the new notes available to citizens across the nation.


According to Sule, the scarcity of the new Naira might have resulted in some commercial banks not opening for customers on Wednesday and Thursday.

He said, “I wish to announce to you that we’re expecting our stock of the New Naira notes very soon for distribution to the commercial banks operating here in Kogi.

“We’re aware of the difficult times our fellow citizens are in right now, and we expect the [commercial] banks to help ameliorate the people’s sufferings by dispensing as we so directed them.


“We’ll soon invite them [commercial banks] to come for their allocations as we’re expecting it today, being Thursday.

“What we give the banks is weekly allocations and a very substantial one for the week.

The Central Bank of Nigeria has debunked a purported press release shared on the Instagram page of the First Lady, Aisha Buhari.

In the release shared on Aisha’s page on Tuesday, it was alleged that the old N500 and N1000 notes should remain legal tender dor the next 70 days, till May 1, 2023.

Debunking the news, the CBN shared another release, labelling the one shared by Aisha as “fake news.”

The CBN said, “For the avoidance of doubt, and in line with Mr. President’s broadcast of February 16, 2023, the CBN has been directed to ONLY reissue and recirculate the old N200 banknotes and this is expected to circulate as legal tender for 60 days up to April 10, 2023.

“Members of the public should therefore disregard any message and/or information not formally released by the Central Bank of Nigeria on this subject. Media practitioners are advised to PLEASE verify any information from the correct sources before publication.”

As at the time of filing this report, the ‘fake’ release was still on Aisha Buhari’s page

At least two killed as militants storm Karachi police headquarters

At least two people were killed and 11 were injured after militants stormed the police headquarters in the southern Pakistani city of Karachi, according to officials.

Up to 10 militants attacked the police station with hand grenades and shots were fired, an eyewitness told CNN. The Sindh provincial minister for labor, Saeed Ghani, confirmed the attack to CNN, adding the incident was ongoing.

Pakistan's Taliban, known as Tehreek e Taliban Pakistan (TTP), claimed responsibility for the attack, according to spokesman Mohammad Khorasani.


Multiple shots could be heard ringing through the area where the headquarters is located, according to footage from the scene, and eyewitnesses described hearing multiple explosions.

The injured are being treated at a hospital, and one of them is in critical condition, according to Murtaza Wahab Siddiqui, a senior leader of the Pakistan People's Party (PPP), the ruling party in Sindh province where Karachi is located.

Earlier, Edhi Ambulance Service said a police officer and a janitor died in the attack, while four police rangers were among the injured.

Video recorded by emergency workers attending the scene of the attack on the police station on Friday.

The attack prompted the Sindh provincial government to declare a state of emergency in Karachi, according to its spokesperson, Sharjeel Memon.

Pakistan's Taliban have been designated a foreign terrorist organization by the US State Department since September 2010.

Pakistani authorities have yet to confirm any group's involvement.

Rescue teams have reached the site of the attack, according to video released by Chhipa Ambulance Service, in which gunfire could be heard.

A spectator was on Friday ordered to pay compensation to Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale after admitting to assaulting him following last month's north London derby against Tottenham Hotspur.

Joseph Watts, 35, jumped out of the crowd and lunged at Ramsdale with his foot as the 24-year-old goalkeeper went to retrieve his water bottle from behind the goal after Arsenal's 2-0 win.

Am i asking you a question or telling you, it all depends on the interpretation you give to it. And that also determine who you really are.
when a word is thrown at you, do you really stop to analyse it or you just jump to the defense. Have you been called certain names, what was your reaction.
Do you just defend yourself by attacking back, or you keep quiet to hear the reason you are being called that. For someone to say you are something, is there any truth in it, ask yourself and if truly there's no truth in it, there will be no reason to defend, attack or react to it.
For if i am not something i shouldn't be perturbed when i am accused of it for my good nature, or truth will finally prevail.
You are wicked because trully you are when you try to prove so much that you are not.
Or could it be lack of confidence, not knowing who you are. If that's it i know someone who can show yòu your identity.
Look for him. He can be found.

Suit against Federal Government

Governor Bello Mattawalle of Zamfara State has defended the suit that he and Governors Yahaya Bello (Kogi) and Nasir El-Rufai (Kaduna) filed against... Read More

Governor Bello Mattawalle of Zamfara State has defended the suit that he and Governors Yahaya Bello (Kogi) and Nasir El-Rufai (Kaduna) filed against the Federal Government over the naira redesign.

The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), which redesigned the naira, had fixed January 31 as the deadline of the old notes to be legal tender.

But the deadline was extended to February 10 after intense pressure on the government and the apex bank.Last week, Godwin Emefiele said the apex bank was not considering extending the deadline.

Extend timeframe for naira redesign implementation, Governors write Buhari

Tinubu hails govs over S/Court ruling on CBN’s naira swap policy

The All Progressives Congress (APC) Governors had met with President Buhari over the issue and the president asked them to give him seven days to look into it.

But the governments of Kaduna, Kogi, and Zamfara states headed for the court to challenge the CBN.

In its ruling on Wednesday, a seven-member panel led by Justice John Okoro halted the Federal Government’s move.

While some persons praised the governors for their actions, others criticised them.

Responding in a statement which his Special Adviser on Media, Zailani Bappa, issued on his behalf, Matawalle said he was convinced that the action and triumph at the court were either misguided or blinded by political chauvinism.

Matawalle said, “I and my Kaduna and Kogi states counterparts found it necessary to approach the Supreme Court to save Nigeria’s economy from being plunged into more crisis.

“Our action will also relieve the excruciating pain the ordinary Nigerian is experiencing in the face of scarcity of both the old and new naira notes.

“It is common sense to say that the CBN and Commercial banks must make the new Naira notes available for day-to-day business transactions before the old naira notes are declared illegal.

“The decision of the Supreme Court Judges on this matter was the best way to address the current problem and its impending consequences at the moment.

“At this critical time of our transition, it is only patriotic for all of us to put political considerations aside and address the challenges at hand so that together, we can cross the bridge ahead of us.”

By Kalhan Rosenblatt
New research conducted by a professor at University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School found that the artificial intelligence-driven chatbot GPT-3 was able to pass the final exam for the school's Master of Business Administration (MBA) program.

Professor Christian Terwiesch, who authored the research paper "Would Chat GPT3 Get a Wharton MBA? A Prediction Based on Its Performance in the Operations Management Course," said that the bot scored between a B- and B on the exam.


The bot's score, Terwiesch wrote, shows its "remarkable ability to automate some of the skills of highly compensated knowledgeknowledge workers in general and specifically the knowledge workers in the jobs held by MBA graduates including analysts, managers, and consultants."


The bot did an "amazing job at basic operations management and process analysis questions including those that are based on case studies," Terwiesch wrote in the paper, which was published on Jan. 17. He also said the bot's explanations were "excellent."

The bot is also "remarkably good at modifying its answers in response to human hints," he concluded.

Terwiesch’s findings come as educators become increasingly concerned that AI chatbots could inspire cheating. Although chatbots are not a new technology, ChatGPT exploded on social media in late 2022. Earlier this month, New York City’s Department of Education announced a ban on ChatGPT from its schools’ devices and networksMuch of the debate is centered around ChatGPT’s conversational speaking style and coherent, topical response style, which makes it difficult to distinguish from human responses.


Experts who work in both artificial intelligence and education have acknowledged that bots like ChatGPT could be a detriment to education in the future. But in recent interviews, some educators and experts they weren’t concerned — yet.

Terwiesch did not immediately respond to a request for further comment. A spokesperson for artificial intelligence startup OpenAI, which created the bot, also did not immediately respond to a request for comment Monday.

Nigerians Hail Supreme Court For Suspending Friday’s Deadline

Nigerians Hail Supreme Court For Suspending Friday’s Deadline of Using Old Banknotes
thegazellenews.comFeb 9, 2023 12:33 PM
Nigerians have hailed the verdict of Supreme Court for temporarily suspending Friday’s deadline to stop using old banknotes, which had led to a cash crisis across the length and breadth of the country.

Majority of Nigerians interviewed by thegazellenews.com said the verdict has showed that the CBN stand before the latest development is anti-people.


A POS operator in based in Alimosho Local Government in Lagos State, Kehinde Popoola, said in an interview, “I praised the verdict of the Apex court for be on the side of Nigerians. The agonies Nigerians had gone through in the last couple of days were unprecedented. You have your money in bank and you cannot collect it, either the old notes or the new one. Tell me where it has happened in other countries of the world. The verdict is big relief to us”.


A Chieftain of All Progressive Congress (APC) in Alimosho Local Government in Lagos State, Dele Ogundimu, also showered praises on Supreme Court.

“I am very happy over the verdict of the court. It’s the best move. It’ll make things easier for us. They need to release all the old and new naira notes, because the pressure is too much. CBN should have extended the deadline for at least six months and that could have make easy for the new naira notes to circulate well,” Ogundimu said.

A pepper seller, Nimota Salami said, “I hail the verdict of the court. The court has seen what average Nigerians are facing as a result of the deadline by the CBN We have all seen what the CBN deadline had caused to us, the poor masses. We have money in banks, we cannot lay our hands on it. But with the verdict of the court, we can now do our normal transactions. Things will be normal again”.

A university student, Mutiu Ajadi, on his part, said the verdict is a welcome development and a big relief to many Nigerians who are going through hard time as a result of the CBN deadline.


“Our people have suffered greatly due to the incompetence of CBN .Supreme Court did the right thing. The suffering is unbearable. Shortage of new naira notes from banks has led to chaotic scenes as people tried to get their hands on them.

“There were fights at ATMs, protests and mob attacks on commercial banks. The chaos led to concern that it could affect this month’s elections,” Ajadi told thegazellenews.com.

Last week, APC Governors met President Buhari and urged him to rethink the policy. However, Buhari reiterated the deadline, vowing that the government would do “everything” to resolve the issues.

It is estimated that around 60 per cent of Nigeria’s adult population does not have a bank account – especially those living in rural areas.

The CBN said the currency redesign and replacement policy, which was announced in October, would help it tackle inflation, which is currently running at about 21 per cent, by reducing the amount of cash in circulation. It added that 80 per cent of the notes currently in circulation were being held outside financial institutions.

It said that the new notes would be harder to forge and also said it would limit the amount of withdrawals in order to promote a cashless society.

The deadline to stop using the old naira notes was initially 31 January but this was extended until 10 February to give the banks more time to roll out the new notes.

The Supreme Court decision comes after a legal challenge initiated by the APC-run northern states of Kaduna, Kogi and Zamfara earlier this month.

Their lawyers argued that the government’s policy had led to an “excruciating situation that is almost leading to anarchy in the land”.

The case has been adjourned to 15 February.

To Precious Youth

They say we are a sum of the choices we make...so what happens if we are very prone to making wrong choices?

That's the thing with choices, the ones you would consider right are the ones that agree with your perception of yourself at that moment in time. If this writer was to take a guess, they would say, that in a way right choices are a deliberate function of adequate self discovery. It is in the discovery of oneself that one is able to know what choices are right for them.

This writer is known to talk about choices very often, It's probably because they believe that purpose and Identity aren't as contrasting as some may believe. As a matter of fact, they might as well be two fragments of one whole. Make no mistake dear reader, the struggles of time management, pursuit of fulfilment, self discovery, the intense desire to live a life of purpose, passion, and dedication to right cause...this writer can assure you, it plagues the best of us.

So what then do we do with ourselves, remain in that oblivion; not knowing what's next, what to do, or how to even go about it? Keep struggling to discover purpose and identity? Keep battling with self discovery? That doesn't seem at all like a smart idea. Speaking of ideas, if there is anything us youth are known for, it has to be our creative thinking; that exceptional ability to conjure up things unknown, unseen, unheard of; all in that enigmatic world we refer to as our minds. Every youth possesses a mind that couldn't be more different from the next person's, each unique in its own.

Piece of advice? It's okay to be confused now; having a problem is not the problem, the problem is choosing not to seek solution or worse, finding the solution and choosing to ignore it. So you can be confused today, but you shouldn't be, tomorrow. That's the goal! Is it not?

A life of passion, filled with amazing experiences. We all wants that. So why then do we remain in that circle, neither going forward nor backward? Is it those wrong choices we make, the ones that always seem right? So what do you say we do? This writer says; we take charge of our lives, we seek the solutions we need, we pursue them, we do not wait for the world to validate our dreams, we put those brilliant minds to good use!

The world is our oyster, so we should take what we want, strive to be the persons we see behind closed lids, not the chaos we are today. You see that's the thing with self discovery; it is as the name implies 'self'. No one is going to do it for you.

Here's a little story...
'Zana as a teenager used to despise motivational speakers. To her they seemed no different from intoxicants; get you so high you feel like you can rule the world and when the effects wear off, you feel worse than a beggar. Thus was 'Zana's description of those intellectuals with the inspiring words and she hated them for it. She always felt like they were selling realities that weren't real. Because in the real world in which she had been a resident for seventeen years, nothing came easy, confusion and inadequacy was the order of the day. Everything was dysfunctional in the real world. And those intellectuals made it seem like their words held all the solutions. However the older 'Zana got, as experiences came one after the other like waves, as she grew, she discovered that she had begun to sound a lot like her disliked intellectuals. With this she realized, the motivational speakers weren't wrong or trying to 'rip her off' as she had thought. She had simply wanted something they weren't selling ... Magic. She had wanted magic. The kind of magic that would put an end to her own state of confusion, the kind of magic that would make everything easy, the kind of magic that would solve all the worlds problems in the blink of an eye, the kind of magic that simply did not exist.

Even today a lot of people still toil in search for the same magic young 'Zana was seeking. Self discovery can only be achieved by oneself. Yes you will need help, guidance even, but in the end, you have to do the work. The pursuit of fulfilment starts with self discovery; take deliberate actions to discover your purpose and identity, engage yourself in creative thinking. If there ever is any magic that can change the world, the magic is you - precious youth - the magic is you!

They say we are a sum of the choices we make ... so make the right choices.

P.s. Thankfully this writer no longer despises motivational speakers.

Yours in writing,
Muzana Donwa

MNT-Halan co-founders:Mounir Nakhla and Ahmed Mohsen
The Egyptian fintech and e-commerce company, MNT-Halan, has just made history by becoming the country’s second unicorn! In a tough VC funding market, MNT-Halan has managed to secure a whopping $400 million in equity and debt financing at a $1 billion valuation.

The round includes $260 million in equity financing and $140 million in debt funding through two securitized bond issuances secured within the past year. About $200 million of the investment came from Abu Dhabi–based Chimera Investments in exchange for 20% equity.

Last year, MNT-Halan raised $120 million from private equity firms, including Apis Growth Fund II, Development Partners International (DPI) and Lorax Capital Partners, and venture capitalists such as Middle East Venture Partners, Endeavor Catalyst and DisruptTech. Now, MNT-Halan is also in the advanced stages of raising $60 million, 40 million of which will reportedly come from the International Finance Corporation.

That’s a lot of money…

Yes, it is, and for good reason. MNT-Halan is currently Egypt’s leading lender to the unbanked; it has disbursed over $2 billion, according to its website. This innovative company goes beyond just lending, as it has created a digital ecosystem of products, including e-commerce, FMCG delivery, and mobile POS payments, that often provide customers individual and corporate for its lending business.

MNT-Halan has big plans for the future, as it intends to add a debit card to the suite of services offered to its 5 million customers by the end of March. The company is also actively seeking opportunities to consolidate its position in the country’s fintech and e-commerce market through mergers and acquisitions.

Now, Egypt holds two of the continent’s nine unicorns: Fawry, and MNT-Halan.

Fears as Binance stops USD deposits, withdrawals

Crypto exchange, Binance has announced that it will temporarily suspend USD deposits and withdrawals on February 8th because of an administrative issue.

A Binance spokeswoman told WatcherGuru that affected clients would be notified individually and that the suspension would affect only 0.01% of monthly active users.
Though the information appears to be regular, crypto users have expressed worries on as many strong and successful crypto enterprises have experienced an unexpected crash in recent weeks.

“We are temporarily suspending USD bank transfers as of February 8th. Affected customers are being notified directly. All other methods of buying and selling crypto remain unaffected, including bank transfers using one of the other fiat currencies supported by Binance (including Euros), buying and selling crypto via credit card, debit card, Google Pay, Apple Pay, and via our Binance P2P marketplace” Binance spokesman said.

Also, the spokesman for Binance confirmed that “all other methods of buying and selling crypto remain unaffected,” including bank transfers using one of the other fiat currencies offered by Binance.

Binance’s hurriedly stated intention to suspend USD withdrawal and deposit is not the cryptocurrency company’s first such abrupt measure. Something quite similar happened late last year.
The exchange announced the suspension of UDSC stablecoin withdrawals on December 12th, following the fall of FTX.
This brought about worry from users who predicted that the largest cryptocurrency company would face the same fate as FTX.

However, CEO Changpeng Zhao added in a tweet that, as the exchange witnessed an increase in USDC withdrawals, the exchange opted to suspend withdrawals because the banks that might honor them were closed.

Zhao’s answer calmed the users’ fears and suspicions.

Users are urged to remain calm and assured that nothing disastrous or terrible will happen to their funds as a result of this latest upgrade.
Users should expect a more detailed explanation of the administrative issue from the Binance team.


The company has shown to be one of the greatest and most honest cryptocurrency companies and so, there is no cause for concern.

The cryptocurrency exchange has no record of any wrongdoing or anomalies. Users can feel certain that nothing fishy is taking place.
Binance announced the debut of Binance Tax on Monday, a service that will endear many users to the platform while also ensuring taxation is easily tracked and computed.

Five things to know about Simon Ekpa the pro-Biafra agitator.

Finland authorities on Thursday arrested the popular pro-Biafra separatist agitator, Simon Ekpa.

When contacted, an official of the Finnish Embassy in Abuja who craves anonymity confirmed Ekpa’s arrest to The PUNCH on Thursday.

Ekpa, a self-acclaimed disciple of the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, had repeatedly ordered the people of the South-East to observe a sit-at-home and asked them to boycott the general election billed for Saturday.

His repeated sit-at-home orders broadcast via social media are believed to be responsible for the orgy of bloodshed and destruction of lives and property in the region by its enforcers.

Here are five things to know about the arrested pro-Biafra agitator

1. Simon Ekpa, a Nigerian-Finnish lawyer, political activist and former athlete, was born on March 21, 1985 in Ohaukwu Local Government Area of Ebonyi State.

2. In 2003, Ekpa won a silver medal for Nigeria in 100 metres in the African Junior Athletics Championships in Cameroon.

3. The arrested pro-Biafra agitator has lived in Lahti, Finland since 2007. He is a member of the National Coalition Party of Finland and was a candidate in the 2022 Finnish county elections.

4. Ekpa gained visibility after he became the lead broadcaster for Radio Biafra after the arrest of the IPOB leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. He was later relieved of his duty after he was said to have breached the organistaion’s rules.

5. The separatist agitator was known for allegedly inciting violence in South-Eastern Nigeria through his broadcasts and sit-at-home orders

Rapper Falz has taken to Twitter to tackle Babajide Sanwo-Olu who took to the platform to thank Lagosians for re-electing him as Governor of the state.

In his statement, Sanwo-Olu said that he is deeply humbled and grateful for the overwhelming support and trust of the good people of Lagos State.

He also thanked President Muhammadu Buhari for leaving a legacy of fairness and electoral outcomes that reflect the will of the people.

The statement read;

"Thank you Lagosians! I am deeply humbled and grateful for the overwhelming support and trust of the good people of Lagos State. I am honored to be re-elected as your Governor and pledge to continue to work tirelessly to deliver a better Lagos for all. Thank you for believing in me. I have personally penned my thoughts in a letter to you. I hope you read it and truly feel my passion for Lagos and for you.

"These elections have deeply tested us as a people. This victory is not just mine, but it belongs to every Lagosian. I have worked hard to live up to this responsibility of governing the most important subnational economy in Africa. We certainly could not have done this by ourselves. Thank you to the Almighty God and all of Lagos. Immense gratitude goes to our great party, APC, and our President-Elect, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu. Thank you to the President of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR, for your commitment to leaving a legacy of fairness and electoral outcomes that reflect the will of the people. Thank you to my wife, Ibijoke, my Deputy Governor, Dr. Kadri Obafemi Hamzat, and all fellow contestants for their contributions. Lagos has chosen competence and experience, on this march to true greatness.

"During the course of the campaign, we sadly saw a lot of divisive rhetoric used. Elections should be about capacity, competence, and experience, not ethnicity or religion. I salute those who refused to be divided by hateful and hurtful ethnic profiling. Recent skirmishes in some LGAs resulting in injuries are reprehensible and not reflective of who we are. Law enforcement and security agencies have been directed to ensure that those found culpable face the full wrath of the law. Very importantly, and this cannot be overemphasized: What unites us as Lagosians is far more important and substantial than whatever differences exist among us.

“As your Governor, I will do everything in my power to ensure that genuine healing takes place. We will continue to run an inclusive government, that delivers for all the people of Lagos, wherever in the State they may be living. The true Lagos spirit is a welcoming, embracing, liberal one, not a divisive, exclusionary one. In the days and weeks and months ahead, we will continue to do everything to demonstrate and amplify this. We must reaffirm the spirit of solidarity and togetherness that binds us as Lagosians. Our work will continue, and there will be no break. The dividends of democracy must continue to be delivered. Thank you once again dear Lagosians. Igbega Ipinle Eko, Ajumose Ni O!”

Reacting to this, Falz claimed that Sanwo-Olu was not re-elected, but selected himself. He also claimed that everyone saw what played out.

He tweeted;

“You were not re-elected. You selected yourself. Everybody saw it unfold. You are only deceiving yourselves”

Two persons were burnt to death in an attack on the campaign office of a House of Representatives candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) in Kano State.

The incident occurred on Sunday, Feb. 26, hours after the general elections. Confirming the incident in a statement on Monday, Feb. 27, the Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, SP Abdullahi Kiyawa, said that a group of suspected thugs set the office ablaze with two unidentified persons in a stationary vehicle inside the building burnt to death.

The Kano State Police Command said it received reports of the incident around 4 pm during the collation of results at the INEC office in Tudun Wada Local Government Area.

According to Kiyawa, the hoodlums also mobilised and attempted to block the road leading to the INEC office.

“Security personnel were immediately mobilised to the scene,” the PPRO said.

“One of the thugs was fatally injured and was rushed to Hospital where he died while receiving treatment. Noting that an investigation is in progress, he added that “four other suspected thugs were arrested.”

In a similar incident, on Sunday around 2:30 pm., police foiled an attempt to burn down the INEC office in Takai LGA as election results were being collated.

Kiyawa also noted that the police and other security agencies, in a swift response, prevented the attack, and four suspected thugs were arrested.

“The collation of the results was concluded peacefully and an investigation is in progress,” he said.

The Court of Appeal sitting in Abuja has sacked the Akwa Ibom State Peoples Democratic Party governorship candidate, Michael Enoyong, who recently emerged as the governorship candidate following a court order issued by a Federal High Court.

Following the sack of Enoyong, the court ordered the mandate of Pastor Umo Eno, who had earlier emerged as the winner of the primary conducted by the party, be restored.

The court in addition ordered Enyong to pay the sum of N1 million to the appellant as a cost.

Enyong, who was reported to have emerged as the candidate of the party in a factional primary conducted by some statutory delegates of the party in Ewet Housing Estate, Uyo, was ratified by the order of a Federal High Court on January 20, 2023.

PDP in Akwa Ibom and at the national level had rejected the order and immediately appealed it leading to the decision of the Court of Appeal in Abuja on Tuesday.
