Ms Baci, prior, had cooked for 93 hours and 11 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>Chef Failatu is currently cooking at the Modern City Hotel in Tamale,<br \/>the capital of the Northern Region, having begun her attempt on<br \/>Sunday, December 31, 2023. She is to conclude today, Friday, January<br \/>5, 2024. Her aim is to cook for at least 120 hours.<\/p>\n<p>So far, social media users have observed her unflagging strength and<br \/>composure, and the ease with which she has cooked a mesmerising array<br \/>of dishes, some humourously opining she could cook for a week, at<br \/>least, from the look of things.<\/p>\n<p>Apart from her live audience enjoying the meals cooked by her, a<br \/>significant portion of Chef Failatu\u2019s food as part of her GWR<br \/>cook-a-thon attempt has been shared to the needy on the streets of<br \/>Tamale.<\/p>\n<p>On Facebook, yesterday, Mrs Samira Bawumia, a potential First Lady,<br \/>seeing as her husband is the governing New Patriotic Party\u2019s (NPP)<br \/>flagbearer for the 2024 general elections, hailed and encouraged:<br \/>\u201cFaila, I know you can do this, and you\u2019ve done great so far. Keep<br \/>going strong! We\u2019re proud of you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It is not the first time the humanitarian Samira Bawumia has supported<br \/>citizens embarking on a nation-glorifying adventure. Among others, in<br \/>2018, when rapper and singer-songwriter Kwesi Arthur was nominated for<br \/>a Black Entertainment Television (BET) award, she rallied support and<br \/>voted for him on social media.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Chef Failatu\u2019s GWR attempt comes right after entrepreneur<br \/>Afua Asantewaa Owusu Aduonum ended her GWR singing marathon attempt of<br \/>126 hours and 52 minutes at the Akwaaba Village, Airport City, Accra.<\/p>\n<p>According to Asantewaa, her team will present evidence of her attempt<br \/>to the Guinness World Record office in London before a verdict is<br \/>received.<\/p>\n<p>While she waits, she flew with her husband to Tamale to support Chef<br \/>Failatu. She sang for her and also sat to down some of the cooked<br \/>food.<\/p>\n<p>classfmonline.com <\/p>\n<p><!-- AI CONTENT END 1 --><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mrs Samira Bawumia, the wife of Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia, has made a donation to aid chef Failatu Abdul-Razak\u2019s Guinness World Record longest cooking marathon by an individual attempt.
