Chef Failatu Abdul Razak, affectionately known as Chef Faila, has expanded her cooking marathon goal from 120 to 240 hours, aiming to surpass a potential new record of 144 hours.

The chef, demonstrating gratitude with smiles, welcomes support from Ghanaians, including celebrities, at the Modern City Hotel in Tamale.

However, her emotions overwhelmed her during the visit of former First Lady Lordina Mahama, the wife of ex-President John Dramani Mahama.

Tearfully, Chef Faila embraced Lordina Mahama during a heartfelt encounter at the hotel's kitchen on Saturday, January 6, 2024.

In poignant viral videos capturing the moment, Chef Failatu Abdul Razak knelt and tearfully embraced former First Lady Lordina Mahama at the Modern City Hotel.

Lordina Mahama, who had donated the Jordin cookware for the chef's Guinness World Record attempt, comforted Chef Faila, wiping away her tears and offering words of encouragement.

The emotional encounter mirrored a similar response from Chef Faila when Chief of Staff Akosua Osei-Frema Opare visited the kitchen on Friday, January 5, 2024.
