Dr. Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), has congratulated Nigerian chef and current World Record holder, Hilda Baci, on achieving the feat.
Hilda Effiong Bassey aka Hilda Baci was officially named a record holder on Tuesday. She broke the earlier set record of longest marathon cooking by an individual.
Although she cooked for over 100 hours, the GWR said there were some miscalculations and 7 hours were deducted. With this, Hilda now holds the record for cooking for 93 hours and 11 minutes.
Obi tweeted immediately after the official announcement saying “Congratulations to you Hilda Baci @hildabacicooks on breaking the Guinness World Record for the longest cooking time by an individual.
“You believed in your vision, you persevered till the end, and you have now carved your name in the golden books of history and have brought great honour to our nation. You have, by your victory, reminded us that the path through which one attains victory in any endeavour must be excellent. By towing the path of hard work and determination, you broke a world record.
“Millions of people across the world are now inspired by you. I remain committed to building a new Nigeria that will provide various noble and productive platforms for Nigerian youths to live out their dreams and compete favourably on the global stage. It is POssible! -PO
