Peter Obi celebrates chef Grace as she breaks Guinness World Record

The Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has showed support to Chef Grace Nwaokobia, who just surpassed the Guinness World Record for the longest home kitchen cooking marathon.

Obi celebrated the new record holder by attending an event held on Tuesday morning to acknowledge her achievement.

Chef Grace started the cooking marathon on Friday, and was able to cook for an impressive 86 hours, surpassing the previous time of 68 hours and 30 minutes.

The meals she prepared were largely donated to charity, including The Little Saints Orphanage in Ilupeju, Lagos state.

LP flagbearer took to his Twitter page and praised Grace’s accomplishment, emphasising the need for a supportive environment in Nigeria.

Obi wrote; “In consonance with my commitment to encouraging our young people towards entrepreneurship and expertise, I showed up this morning to cheer on Chef Grace Nwaokobia #chefgraceggk as she made us proud by breaking the Guinness World Record for the longest home kitchen cooking marathon by an individual.

“The old record stood at 68 hours and 30 minutes. By the time I arrived at about 6:40 am, she had already broken the record and extended it to 86 hours and counting.

“Interestingly, the food cooked has largely gone to charity. I gathered that on Saturday, the food made was supplied to The Little Saints Orphanage in Ilupeju, in line with Chef Grace’s dedication to charity.

“Let’s create a supportive environment in Nigeria that empowers young people to be productive, unlocking their entrepreneurial potential. By doing so, we can build a new Nigeria which is now very possible!”
