Tinubu, Sanwo-Olu congratulate Nigerian doctor on world largest painting record

President Bola Tinubu has congratulated Nigerian doctor and artist, Fola David, on his recent accomplishment of setting a new Guinness World Record for the largest painting by an individual.

The course of his six-day attempt at the Onikan Stadium in Lagos, David broke the previous record of 629.98 square metres, held by Ravi Soni from India, and set a new record of 1000 square metres of art.

In a post on his Instagram story on Sunday, Tinubu wrote, “Congratulations to Dr. Fola David for completing his attempt at making the world’s largest hand-drawing by an individual, ‘Unity in Diversity.’

“It is a remarkable achievement, and we are filled with great pride and admiration for this accomplishment.”

Similarly, the Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has also congratulated him on his new feat, highlighting how David worked with the state government during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“Congratulations on creating the world’s largest handdrawing by an individual, ‘Unity in Diversity.’ Lagos is proud!

“We are happy to have supported this record-breaking feat to showcase the extraordinary talents within our state.

“Your dedication and creativity inspire us all. Continue to dream big and do audacious things, Dr. #foladavidart.”

David’s artwork, titled “Unity in Diversity,” features a map of Nigeria highlighting the country’s diverse tribes through their unique attire, languages, art, and essence.
