While receiving the award in Lagos as presented to him by Outstanding Media Organisation (OMO), Okumagba, who is known for his untiring passion in supporting Nigeria national football teams through the commendable efforts of the supporters club, has expressed appreciation for receiving the Outstanding Leader of the Year 2014 award for his immense support and contribution to the development of Nigeria Football Supporters’ Club.
According to James Charles, representative of the organisation at the award presentation, “Prince Vincent Okumagba believes in change, touching lives and values among people around him. For him, football is one game that defies cultures, believes, colour, languages and brings the people together regardless of where they come from. He believes in peace, open leadership and team work. All these culminated in his selection as being worthy of the award”
In his speech while receiving the award, Okumagba commended the organisation for recognising him for the award, dedicating the award to the supporters club.
“I really want to dedicate this award to the supporters club and the entire executive members of the club. This award is something I will really cherish for a long time knowing that we just returned from the world cup even though we didn’t come with the trophy, we won the heart of many Brazilians” he said.
He continued by stressing on the fact that the club will not be tired in cheering the Super Eagles and will also continue to support all the national football teams by motivating the players to give in their best for the Nation.
“As a group, we will not stop cheering and inspiring the eagles with our voices and sounds. We cannot stop from doing what we know how to do best, supporting our national teams everywhere they go. As a Nigerian, I will continue to do my very best to ensure the image of this country is properly propagated and ensure that our teams do well any time. I appreciate every one that has been supportive. Together, let’s build Nigerian supporters club.”
