The Akwa Ibom State choral group has
broken the world record for the largest
number of Christmas carol singers in the
world.
The Guinness World Records has officially
certified it and now has it on its website .
The unity choir, a 25,272 man-choral group,
broke the record at a concert in the Uyo
Township Stadium on Saturday, December
13, 2014 with Guinness World Records
representatives in attendance. The choir beat
the record set by a group known as CENTI in
Bogota, Columbia, which had 15,674 carol
singers the previous year (December 15,
2013).
Guinness World Records adjudicator, Liz
Smith, who did the announcement in
Guinness World Record Headquarters,
London, United Kingdom congratulated the
choir and said “It is now time to reveal the
report of the official attempt to break the
Guinness World Record of the largest group
of carol singers. Our team of highly trained
record specialists have reached a decision.
The record to beat was 15,674. I can now
confirm that your attempt to break the record
has been successful. Congratulations on
receiving a new Guinness World Records
Title. The title of the largest group of carol
singers has been achieved by Godswill
Akpabio Unity Choir. You are officially
amazing.”
An elated Governor Godswill Akpabio broke
the news to the people of the state saying,
“This month, we broke the Guinness Book of
World Records, for the largest number of
carol singers ever in the world. This
momentous feat was achieved when Akwa
Ibom people drawn from all the nooks and
crannies of the state came together in the
spirit of love and brotherhood. I believe that
if we imbibe the virtue of love and stand
together in brotherhood in the New Year, we
would keep setting records and the walls of
division, which have been erected by some
selfish politicians, would tumble down.”
