“Every Grand Victory Starts With A Single, Bold Move, Lagos Is Rooting For You”- Governor Sanwo Olu Supports Chess Master, Tunde Onakoya, In His Attempt To Break The Guinness World Record For The Longest Chess Marathon

Governor Sanwo Olu has extended his best wishes to Nigerian chess master, Tunde Onakoya, in his attempt to break the Guinness World Record for the longest chess marathon which started on Wednesday.

On Saturday, Onakoya, the founder of Chess in Slums Africa, announced his plan to play chess continuously for 58 hours without losing a game from 10am on April 17 to 8pm on April 19 in Times Square, New York City.

Onakoya said he was doing it “for the dreams of millions of children across Africa without access to education.”

Governor Sanwo Olu has now supported him, sharing a photo with the chess master on X, he wrote:

“Every grand victory starts with a single, bold move akin to a daring gambit—a bold move to redefine possibilities.

@Tunde_OD ; Lagos is rooting for you as you attempt to break the Guinness World Record for the longest chess marathon at Times Square in the heart of New York.

Taking the story of the phenomenal work you started in Lagos with young children to a global stage is a powerful testament to how greatness can emerge from anywhere”.
