Leke is currently in his final year at the University of Durham where he is pursuing a BA in Sports, Exercise and Physical Activity. He is skilful in video editing, operating any camera system and is quite the computer expert. He offers these skills to PL9 as well as the audio-visual department at church.

Leke finds inspirations all around him and these include his family and friends, certain elders at church and especially Philip’s life.

“A legacy is not just something we leave behind when we leave this life. Rather, a legacy is something we live now. We should live in such a way that we will bless others now and for generations to come.”

Leke hopes to be a driving force for others. Giving them confidence and guiding them to take bold forward moving steps.

“I would like people to respond to my work in a positive way. To show that we can all make a change.”

Leke was in a younger class when Philip passed away in 2013. He woke up one day in 2014 and started thinking about Philip and for him, this was God directing him towards PL9. It was not until 2016 that he officially met “Aunty Juliet” and was appointed a leader at PL9 in 2017.

“I was nervous about the Youth Community Impact Awards because new challenges can be daunting, but I reminded myself who I’m doing this for and I know Jesus will guide me along the way.”
