Are you saying that you want to access $go? because, if that is the case, you need to change the scope of it.

As you see, $go in this method is only available inside activate():

private function activate() {
    $go = new Activate('Approved');
}

to make it reachable from other location within the class, you would need to declare it outside activate():

private $go = null;

you call $go by using $this:

private function activate() {
    $this->go = new Activate('Approved');
}

After that, if you want to access go from outside class, you would need to create wrapper:

public function getGo(){
   return $this->go;
}

Hope this helped. Also, you can read the documentation about OOP in PHP.
