The presidential candidate of the Labour Party at the just concluded general elections, Peter Obi, has congratulated Hilda Baci following her certification as the new record holder for the longest cooking marathon by an individual.

Mr Obi took to his Twitter page to congratulate the chef who was certified on Tuesday by Guinness World Records. 

“Congratulations to you Hilda Baci 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 endeavor 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,” he tweeted.

The Guinness World Records finally certified Hilda Baci as the current record holder for the longest cooking time by an individual, with a time of 93 hours and 11 minutes.

The previous record of 87 hours 45 minutes was set by an Indian named Lata Tondon in 2019.
