The Oyo State Government on Saturday congratulated Chef Adebayo Temitope on his completion of a 200-hour cookathon to set a new feat for the Guinness World Record.
In a post on X, the Oyo Government wrote, “We join the good people of Ogbomoso and, indeed, Oyo State to congratulate Prince Adebayo Ayodeji Temitope #cheftopemaggie on completing his 200-hour Cookathon.
“He started cooking on Thursday, 9 November 2023, at 6:31 p.m. and ended earlier today, Saturday, 18 November 2023, at 2.31 a.m. We look forward to the final verification and award of the new world record by the Guinness World Record #GWR team.”
