***commends his daring spirit
The Senator representing Kogi Central senatorial district,Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, has thrown her weight behind Dauda Abdulfatai who is currently attempting to break the Guinness World Record for longest marathon ironing.
The lawmaker said she is supporting Abdulfatai for his daring spirit and the belief that he can achieve such a lofty dream and be recognised internationally amidst challenges .
This she said despite youth restiveness that would have occupied his mind, Abdulfatai chose to be different and make a name for himself and the good people of Kogi Central.
She noted that as a Senator from Kogi Central, whatever the outcome of the marathon, she would support the young man for his daring spirit and determination to be different.
Dauda Abdulfatai hails from Eika-Adagu, Okehi local government area of Kogi.
He is currently attempting to break the Guinness World Record for the longest marathon ironing after his application was approved by the body.
If successful, Abdulfatai will break the earlier record set by Gareth Sanders, 28, a cleaning company manager from Bristol, United Kingdom who broke the world record for non-stop ironing after ironing around 2,000 items for 100 hours from 26 to 30 October 2015.
