Youths in Uzo Uwani have strongly opposed the House of Representatives aspiration of Mathias Ezeaku, citing his attacks on Christianity and Islam.

The NDC aspirant, known for burning the Holy Bible and criticising religious leaders, faces backlash from community members who fear rising intolerance Concerned Uzo Uwani Youths insist that political leadership must promote peaceful coexistence and unity, not division and hostility

Mr Ezeaku, who hails from Nrobo in Uzo Uwani, is a traditional African Religion worshipper. He is seeking the NDC ticket to represent the Uzo-Uwani-Igbo-Etiti Federal Constituency in the 2027 elections.
