Beaming with optimism, he said, "Afia has showcased incredible passion and unwavering determination. Witnessing her talent firsthand, I have no doubt she can break this record. Let's all stand behind her, cheering her on until she sings her way into the record books!"

Dr. Bawumia's encouragement was met with renewed fervour from the crowd, their voices blending with Afia's as she continued her historic journey. 

The Akwaaba Village, buzzing with unwavering support and resounding music, became a stage for a nation united in its pursuit of a record-breaking dream.
