President-elect, Bola Tinubu, has joined many Nigerians to show his support for chef Hilda Baci in her quest to break the Guinness World Record for the longest cooking time.

Taking to her Instagram live video on Sunday, the incoming president commented, “IDAN doesn’t break, she breaks records. We’re rooting for you, Hilda.”

In a similar development, The Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, also threw his weight behind chef Hilda Baci as she attempts to break the Guinness World Record for the ‘longest cooking time’.

In a Facebook post on Sunday, Sanwo-olu said he’s proud of her determination to appear among the greatest in the world.

“I showed up to support Chef Hilda Baci, in her quest to break the Guinness World Record for the longest time spent cooking by an individual.

Her dedication, passion for cooking as well as her desire to put our rich culture on the map by not only exhibiting our food but also the resilience, determination, energy and team spirit that has come to be known as the spirit of Lagos and indeed Nigeria is truly remarkable.

We are proud to have Hilda embarking on this journey in our state. I will continue to follow the updates and look forward to the final declaration,” Sanwo-olu said.

The 27-year-old on Thursday began a four-day ‘cook-a-thon’ at Amore Gardens, Lekki, Lagos State.

Hilda is on the verge of breaking the world’s longest cooking time record held by Lata Tondon who completed the task in 87 hours, 45 minutes, and 00 secs in Rewa, India in 2019.

The Nigerian chef has since exceeded over 70 hours of cooking, as of the time of this report by  i-News Nigeria
