Naija News looks at the top happenings making headlines on the front pages of Nigeria’s national newspapers today Saturday, February, 5th 2022.

According to The PUNCH, the internal crisis rocking the All Progressives Congress may not fizzle out any time soon as aggrieved factions of the party have shifted the battlefield to court after the national leadership of the party inaugurated state chairmen not in their camps.

The Federal Government is under fresh pressure to immediately name and prosecute financiers of terrorism in the country and their collaborators as proof of its sincerity in the war against those who have taken up arms against Nigeria, The Guardian reports.

President Muhammadu Bu­hari, while campaigning in Owerri in March 2015, said his administration will en­sure that the Naira was equal to the dollar in value if voted into office. Almost seven years into his regime, Naira, which was between N145 and N170 to a dollar in 2015, is exchanged for N580 in the parallel market while it is N416 in the official market, Daily Independent says.

Notable southern and northern socio-political groups, as well as some eminent Nigerians, yesterday lampooned the Federal government over its claim that it had identified 96 financiers of terrorism, involving about 123 companies and 33 bureaux de change, Saturday SUN reports.
