The Vice President, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, has offered some words of encouragement to
Chef Abdul-Razak Failatu who is attempting to break the Guiness World Record for longest hours for cooking.
The Vice President made the remarks during his visit to the chef in Tamale.
Speaking to the media, the Vice President said the attempt by both Chef Faila and event organiser Afua Asantewaa has put Ghana on the map and proves that it is possible to accomplish anything one sets their mind to.
“When I say it is possible, it means it is possible for us to be the best. It is possible to beat the best in the world. That mindset is what Ghanaians need. That possibility mindset and what Afua did in the sing-a-thon, showed that it was possible to be the best in the world.
“What Faila is also doing here is showing that it is possible to break the world record and we are here to support her so that she does it and we all going to be very happy when she does it,” he said.
