President Tinubu Endorses Tunde Onakoya’s Attempt to Break the Record for the Longest Unbeaten Chess Marathon

President Bola Tinubu and other prominent citizens have backed chess Grandmaster, Tunde Onakoya, in his attempt to break the Guinness World Record for the longest unbeaten chess marathon.

Onakoya’s 58-hour quest to break the Guinness World record for the longest unbeaten chess marathon began Wednesday April 17 at 10am in Times Square, New York and according to Tiltify, he is scheduled to conclude at 8pm on Friday (US time today).

The current Guinness World record for the longest chess marathon stands at 56 hours, nine minutes, and 37 seconds and was set by Hallvard Haug Flatebø and Sjur Ferkingstad of Norway on November 11, 2018.

Reacting to Onakoya’s Guinness World Record attempt, Tinubu simply wrote on X, “Checkmate the world Tunde Onakoya.”

Vice President Kashim Shettima added, “We are not only proud of the ambition of the chess maverick, Tunde Onakoya, in his attempt to break the Guinness World record for playing chess for 58 hours without losing a game, but also of his humanitarian interventions and his representation of Nigeria on the global stage through this game of brilliant minds.

“Mr Onakoya is a symbol of excellence and resilience that distinguishes Nigerians both at home and abroad and we stand with him in spirit as he captivates the world from Times Square, New York City. Go, make history and inscribe our name in gold.”

Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwoolu, also tweeted, backing Onakoya to set the new record.
