Shehu Sani Congratulates Hilda Baci On Breaking Guinness World Record For ‘Longest Cooking Time’

Former Kaduna Senator, Shehu Sani has congratulated Nigerian chef, Hilda Effiong Bassey, better known as Hilda Baci for breaking the Guinness World Record for the longest cooking time by an individual.

Hilda had on April 2, 2023, announced in a post on her Instagram handle, that she was going to make her five-year-long dream a reality, stating that she will cook for four days and four nights to break the 87 hours, 45 minutes, set by Chef Lata Tondon in Rewa, India in 2019.

Originally scheduled to begin on April 28th, the event was moved to May 11th to accommodate the additional attendees who registered for the cook-a-thon at Amore Gardens, Lekki, Lagos.

On Sunday, May 14, the Nigerian chef replied to a tweet where Guinness World Records wrote “Today is a good day to break a world record”, stating that she was “on it.”

Hilda Baci, who launched into the competition at exactly 4 pm when she put on her cooker on Thursday, May 11, smashed Lata Tondon’s record on Monday morning, May 15.

In reaction to her record-breaking feat, Shehu Sani, who has become a sort of social commentator, hailed Hilda and noted that she “rescued our hearts from Super Eagles.”

Sani wrote, “Hilda rescued our Hearts from Super Eagles. Congratulations to Chef Hilda @hildabacicooks.”

Meanwhile, Kanyi Daily reported that ex-presidential aide, Reno Omokri also congratulated Hilda and said by her achievement, Nigerian youths will be inspired to break many other records.
