Irish Chef, Alan Fisher Breaks Nigerian Hilda Baci’s Cookathon Guinness World Record

Alan Fisher, an Irish restaurant owner and chef based in Japan, has achieved extraordinary success by breaking two Guinness World Records related to cooking marathons.

In his first remarkable feat, he established a new record for the "longest cooking marathon (individual)," surpassing the previous record held by Nigerian chef Hilda Baci by more than 24 hours. Fisher persevered for an astounding 119 hours and 57 minutes.

Following this incredible accomplishment, Fisher took on the challenge of the "longest baking marathon (individual)." He met and exceeded expectations, setting a new record with a time of 47 hours and 21 minutes. The previous record, held by Wendy Sandner from the United States, was 31 hours and 16 minutes.

What makes Fisher's achievements even more impressive is that he undertook both record-breaking attempts back-to-back. This grueling schedule required him to be in the kitchen for over 160 hours, with just over a day of rest between these remarkable feats.

Alan Fisher's dedication and passion for his craft have undoubtedly left a lasting mark on culinary records.

Court Of Appeal Affirms Orji Kalu Winner Of Abia North

The Court of Appeal has affirmed Senator Orji Uzor Kalu as the winner of the Abia North Senatorial District seat in the February 25 poll.

The court, presided over by Justice Abiri, upheld the earlier judgment by the Abia State National Assembly Election Petition Tribunal.

The candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Nnamdi Iro Orji, and his Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) counterpart, Senator Mao Ohabunwa, had appealed the Tribunal’s judgment.

But in a unanimous ruling, the panel of justices described the appeal as lacking in merit and maintained that Senator Kalu complied with the provisions of the Electoral Act.

Kalu, a two-time lawmaker, was declared the winner of the February 25 senatorial polls, with 30,805 votes to defeat Nnamdi, who got 27,540 votes, while Mao Ohuabunwa scored 15,175 votes to place third.

INEC Adds Sylva To Bayelsa Gov Candidates List

Ahead of Saturday’s Governorship Election in Bayelsa State, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has added the name of the candidate of the All-Progressives Congress (APC), Timipre Sylva, to the final list of candidates for the poll.

INEC, in the new list published on its website, said the addition of Sylva’s name complied with an Appeal Court judgment delivered on October 31, 2023, which reversed the sacking of Sylva’s candidacy for the poll.

In the new list, Sylva’s name was pencilled as the APC governorship candidate, whilst that of Maciver Joshua was written as his running mate.

The former Minister of State for Petroleum Resources and former Bayelsa Governor is running alongside 15 other contenders, including the incumbent governor, Duoye Diri, of the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP).

On October 10, a Federal High Court in Abuja disqualified Sylva from participating in the state governorship election.

However, he appealed the decision of the lower court, and the appellate court ruled in his favour last Tuesday.
