Few weeks ago, when the cream of the Ngwa intelligentsia wanted a man to steer the ship of the foremost Ngwa group, The Ngwa Patriots Forum, the lot fell on him. His choice in an association that parades the finest Ngwa brains shows how highly regarded and respected the man is. He is a man of uncommon composure, very unassuming and reserved, deeply thoughtful and profoundly benevolent.
At the end of the year, as he has done in the past 20 years, scores of indigent people will gather in his country home for his yearly Ihuka Foundation giveaway. Currently, the man is building 4 units of 4 bedrooms flat for the poorest in his community. At the last count, 28 youths owe their university degrees to his benevolence and many others have acquired various vocational skills.
Chief Uzoma Ihuka is in a class of his own. He is not like any other politician. He is at home with his people and carries no arrogant airs. Those who know him will attest that his milk of human kindness does not run based on political sentiments or affiliations. He treats those in PDP the same way he relates with people of the opposing divide.
