Bolaji Gbengbeleku Foundation (BGF), a non-governmental organization operating in Ona-Ara Local Government marked its one year of impactful development and intervention for the advancement of humanity.
The foundation during her anniversary held at Oloba Community School, Ogbere Ibadan highlighted various intervention programmes executed in the last one year to better the life of people ranging from food palliative, educational supports, health intervention, community program and many others.
In his words, the founder and initiator of the foundation, Hon. Bolaji Gbengbeleku, who is also a chieftain of APC in Oyo State explained that the idea of the foundation was born to build a platform to impact society.
“I give thanks to God for His mercy and guidance over the last 365 days of establishing this foundation aiming to support humanity in the best capacity it could. We have been able to support our community in many areas.”
“There are testimonies of our impacts in the society. And we are appreciated more than what we expect while kick-starting this journey.”
“We have our challenges over the last 12 months calendar. But that has not stopped us from continuing to make positive impacts by supporting humanity in our best capacity.”
“I want to appreciate my political leader and father who has been of great support and mentoring us in the journey, Hon. Afeez Repete. May God continue to bless him.”
Speaking further at the event, former Deputy National Youth Leader, Hon. Afeez Bolaji Repete, appreciated support of the foundation members and its founder and initiator, Bolaji Paul Gbengbeleku, and how the foundation is making valuable impact in the society.
In his words, Repete said, “I must confess that I am happy with the calibre of people present here and the population in front of me. It is a testament that Bolaji Gbengbeleku is making waves and has not in any way disappointed me and the party he is intending to represent when the time comes.”
“The zeal and interest in developing the Ona-Ara Local Government is why I am throwing my weight behind Bolaji Gbengbeleku. Ona-Ara needs an energetic and intellectual person that can drive the local government out of the assumed curse stamping on her development.”
“While at that, I’m imploring us that we should continue to support his idea and initiative to liberate the local government and state constituency for our own benefit. I’m so proud of the gathering here today.” Repete concluded
Also speaking, Chief Sukè, Babaloja Akanran, and the Otun Baale Akaran prayed for the success of the foundation and the founder, Bolaji Gbengbeleku in his political aspirations.
