Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, has declared support for Dauda Abdulfatai who is currently attempting to break the Guinness World Record for longest marathon ironing.
Dauda Abdulfatai, who hails from Okehi local government area of Kogi, is currently attempting to break the Guinness World Record for the longest time for ironing after his application was approved by the body.
The lawmaker represents Kogi Central senatorial district, under the umbrella of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Akpoti-Uduaghan, said the daring spirit of Abdulfatai and the belief that he can achieve such a lofty dream and be recognised internationally amidst challenges needs to be supported.
She noted that 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.
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.
In summary, the Episcopal Conferences across Africa, which have strongly reaffirmed their communion with Pope Francis, believe that the extra-liturgical blessings proposed in the Declaration Fiducia supplicans cannot be carried out in Africa without exposing themselves to scandals. They remind, as Fiducia supplicans clearly does, the clergy, religious communities, all believers and people of good will, that the Church’s doctrine on Christian marriage and sexuality remains unchanged.
