The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain, Chief Sunny Onuesoke, has advised wealthy Nigerians to emulate the philanthropic and humanitarian gestures of the Founder of Living Faith Church Worldwide, Bishop David Oyedepo, in contributing his little quota to the development of humanity.

He made the statement while reacting  to Oyedepo’s donation  of N650 million for the maintenance of bad roads in Ogun State, said if wealthy Nigerians emulate the good work of Oyedepo by contributing their little quota for the development of the society in education sector, health sector, industrialization and infrastructural development among others, Nigeria will be a better place for all.

Onuesoke, stated that in Ota, Ogun State, the presence of Living Faith Church Worldwide has not only splashed renewed hope all across the town and beyond but had also lifted a growing number of individuals and households out of poverty.

Onuesoke added that the church’s intervention in road development and electricity distribution has changed the lives of the indigenes for good.

“The recent donation of N650million for repairs of the road is just a tip on the iceberg.

Evidence abounds that Living Faith Church Worldwide, popularly known as Winners Chapel, is credited for the construction and regular maintenance of Oju-Ore to Atan Agbara road.

There was a time the entire Ota community in Ogun State was in total darkness, it was the church that brought electricity to the community,” Onuesoke recalled.

Onuesoke, who was at Ota to see things for himself, disclosed that David Oyedepo Foundation, a Christian non-profit organization, has excelled in education by creating platforms to improve the quality of education in Africa and increase access to quality education by school-age child marginalized by poverty.

He said the Foundation focuses the bulk of its efforts on intervention and educational support for individuals and schools because it strongly believes that education is one major tool that has the power to change the current economic condition of Nigeria in particular and Africa in general.

“The Foundation focuses on education to ensure that all those in need are empowered with basic knowledge and skills required to achieve success in their own lives.

“It provides  educational learning aids in vocational and formal schools, establishment of libraries, award of research grants in the field of education and partnerships with non-governmental organizations,” Onuesoke explained, stressing that besides other endeavours of human endowment, Oyedepo Foundation equally participates  in providing adequate, quality and primary healthcare especially to the poor and marginalized people who are unable to afford quality medical care.

The PDP Chieftain stated that because the government cannot provide for all the needs of the people, the citizenry will breathe a sigh of relief if those who are well-to-do can emulate by Oyedepo providing the necessity of life to the people in terms of infrastructures, healthcare, education and other better-living accessories.
