"This is really astonishing and acceptable. The people of Ajaokuta Local Government and the entire people of Kogi State are indeed amazed with this development. What he is done is simply bringing Kogi State in a positive light. Activities such as this are being done in the cities like Abuja, Kaduna, Lagos but now Kogi State will be mentioned among comity of record breaking.

"The present state is that the young Man has broken the record. The record initially was a 100hrs. Our son hit that two days ago and began creating a new record. I am pleased to inform the house that he added 42 hours to make him world record holder of 142 hours as we speak. Though, he has a target of 200 hours, unfortunately for reasons such as health, as advised by his team that he should stand down when he got to 142hours. It is record breaking at our bus top.
