gives me the distinct privilege to state that,
he is not only a true African Ambassador but the
dream of a few Africans and definitely the vision
of our forefathers. I also appreciate him for
not living in the past but the present and future.
God bless African Ambassadors. |

a man of distinct, impeccable compassionate and

10. Honorable, Dr. Paul Sheehy
As a physician, with some of my colleagues that
know Dr. Osuji-we,
at the beginning of the creation of African Ambassadors
felt that he must be crazy trying to find time,
energy and resources to build this organization;
but very quickly, we realized that it also takes
sensitive, charismatic and his infectious compassionate
personality in order to achieve his present success
with African Ambassadors. |
 |
11. Honorable Chief Shibola Ken
(CEO and President of Kenaday Medical Group.)
Dr.
Osuji is not only a dear friend, but one of
my most trusted and dedicated physicians who have
given so much of his time and energy in medical
volunteer services at my medical centers. He will
always have my support at any capacity. Please
continue to support African Ambassadors. Like
his father stated, it is not about Dr. Osuji
but about the goodness in being here for other
members of our community. |

From the bottom of my heart, I am honored to
