The Konkomba Youth Association (KoYA) has expressed its gratitude to chef Failatu Abdul Razak who currently in a cooking marathon to set a record in the Guinness World Record book in Tamale, Northern Region.

In a statement after visiting the Modern City Hotel where the cook-athon is ongoing to show their support, the association said, “Your fearless pursuit of this Guinness World Record has left an indelible mark on our nation’s history. May your journey continue to inspire others, foster unity, and serve as a catalyst for further positive development in the Northern region and beyond.”

What makes the statement touching is the fact that the action of some miscreants recently painted a rather bad picture of the relationship between tribes in the northern region, especially, Dagombas and Konkombas, and this comes at a time the entire country needs such comments to promote peace.
