President-general (PG) of Umueri general assembly, Johnny Metchie, has donated a Sienna car to the Aguleri-Umuleri Joint Peace Movement (JPM) to patrol the borders of the two villages.
The vehicle was handed over to the leaders of the JPM by the traditional rulers of the two communities, His Royal Majesty, Igwe Sir Benneth Emeka of
Umueri and His Royal Highness, Igwe Dr. Mike Idigo of Aguleri.
The ceremony took place on Sunday at the palace of the Igwe of Umuleri.
At the event, Igwe Emeka who first prayed with blessed water on the car, commended Metchie for his generosity, care and commitment to the good and welfare of his people.
The monarch recalled the unprecedented leadership milestones recorded by Metchie, barely three months of his assumption of office including connecting the community to a high-tech security network, ongoing solar powered street light project, attracting Dental Clinic to the Umueri general hospital, empowerment of women, youths
and vulnerable people, among many others.
He said it was a rare gesture that Metchie, who he said have been blessed by God, has decided to give back to the society through his numerous philanthropic gestures by using his personal resources to better the lives of the people, adding that it was a good example and worthy of emulation.
