PHOTOS: Bolaji Gbengbeleku Foundation Marks One Year Anniversary, Promises More Impacts

Bolaji Gbengbeleku Foundation, a non-governmental organisation 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 the number of intervention programmes done to better the lives of humanity. Ranging from food palliatives to educational supports, health interventions, community programmes, 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 that 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 can. We have been able to support our community in many areas.

“There are testimonials of our impacts on society. And we are appreciated more than we expected when we kicked off this journey.

“We have had our challenges over the last 12 calendar months. But that has not stopped us from continuing to make an impact. And supporting humanity in our best capacity.

“I want to appreciate my political leader and father, who has been of great support and mentored 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 the support of the foundation members for the founder and initiator, Bolaji Paul Gbengbeleku, and how the foundation is making an impact in 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 or 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 stated. 

Also speaking, Chief Sukè, Babaloja Akanran, and the Otun Baale Akabran prayed for the success of the foundation and the founder, Bolaji Gbengbeleku, in his political aspirations.
