A Chieftain of Labour Party in Anambra State Prince Austin Onyekaba alias Otumba has provided more insight on the philanthropic services of the founder/CEO of Oga Ndi Oga Foundation High Chief Godwin Agbasimelo with more facts on how the Oga Ndi Oga boss driven by large hearted services lifted his home town of Ezinifite in Nnewi South Local Government Area of Anambra State with a 10 kilometre road project which he singlehandedly constructed with asphalt.
Prince Onyekaba also a coordinator of the mass movement of Oga Ndi Oga Foundation who served as a member of Labour Presidential Campaign Council in 2023 Presidential election also revealed that it was the Ezinifite High Chief who lifted the Labour Party into a “viable third force” status with unprecedented mass movement during the 2021 governorship election in Anambra State and more importantly lifted the youth by floating a football club known as Godysky Football club.
Otumba who spoke extensively on the philanthropic services of the Oga Ndi Oga boss, explained that he is exposed and educated enough to say the truth and the truth about High Chief Agbasimelo according to him is that he is a foremost philanthropist of the present generation who has made indelible mark in service to humanity in most critical areas of offering palliative measures to provide in need, helping people in business, education, sport, career building, amenities, infrastructures and politics among others.
Hear him “I have known Agbasimelo for many years and to the best of my knowledge he has made massive contributions to the wellbeing of humanity. I can tell you that he is helping people in need with palliatives with food stuff, helping people to start business with cash and materials like motocross, sowing machine etc, helping children of poor families to go to university, helping people to build career mostly helping the youth to build career in football, helping people with amenities and infrastructures like boreholes, electricity, road project and most importantly providing people the opportunity to participate in politics”
He added “Tell me how many people that have constructed up to ten kilometres of road in their towns, tell me how many people that have helped the youth with opportunity to make a career in football, If they calculate the number of people he has given cash and materials to start business you won’t believe it, if they calculate the number of bags of rice he has shared to the people you won’t believe it, if they tell you the number of children he offered scholarships you won’t believe it and so on and so forth
Prince Onyekaba confessed that he is a direct beneficiaries of the kind hearted services of the Oga Ndi Oga boss adding that it was Oga Ndi Oga that rendered help to assist him to foot the bill of his mother’s burial and also offered him opportunity to join Labour Party in Anambra State as a ward coordinator at Otolo Nnewi in 2021 and subsequently rose to become a member of Labour Party Campaign Council in 2023 Presidential election with Peter Obi as Presidential candidate.
He continued “I am a businessman based in Lagos and had no opportunity to participate in politics at Otolo Nnewi my home town. I tried as much as i could do to no avail until I joined Oga Ndi Oga movement. It was just Oga Ndi Oga that provided me the opportunity to really identify with politics and I had opportunity to be part of the Peter Obi train in 2023. There are many people like me who had no opportunity to join politics until Oga Ndi Oga came on board. And to Agbasimelo and God be the glory”
Asked to comment on the future of Oga Ndi Foundation considering the current economic hardszhip in Nigeria, the Otolo Nnewi born businessman predicted the future is very bright considering the fact that the Foundation is ordained by God.

Our prayer as members of the Foundation I that God will not allow bad people to come in dent it in Jesus name, Amen”
