Some may need these pictures tomorrow, so I’m reposting them with heartfelt appreciation.
While serving as the Deputy Chairman of Bende Local Government Area, I was deeply honoured by two respected royal fathers in our land moments I still treasure today.
HRH Eze Ukwakwe Ukaegbu graciously conferred on me the title of “Agunwa I of Bende.”while HRH Eze Patrick Ukaegbu bestowed on me the title of “Ochina Nwata I of Umusiobu Community in Bende.”
I remember the words they spoke to me yesterday and I hold them dear. My relationship with the traditional rulers in Bende remains strong and respectful, and I do not take that for granted.
Each time I see them or go to greet them, I go on my knees not just as a sign of respect, but because they are more than traditional rulers to me. They are great fathers, and I honour them deeply.
PUO.
