In a post on his X handle on Tuesday, Atiku commended both Hilda and her partners, writing:
“Congratulations to Hilda Baci and Gino for setting a new world record with the largest serving of Nigerian-style jollof rice. It is yet another reminder that our people can break records, set standards, and inspire the world.”
