David Mark’s Daughter Joins Pro-Tinubu Campaign Group

A member of the House of Representatives, Blessing Onuh, has formally aligned with the re-election campaign of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, taking up a key role in a pro-administration advocacy group.

Onuh, who represents Otukpo/Ohimini Federal Constituency of Benue State, was appointed National Woman Leader of the Take Action Campaign Organisation (TACO), a group promoting the second-term bid of the president.

Her appointment was announced by the Director-General of the organisation, Hon. Tony Nwulu, during a brief ceremony in Abuja, where she was presented with her letter of appointment.

Speaking after the announcement, Onuh pledged to mobilise support for Tinubu’s re-election and to advance the administration’s Renewed Hope Agenda, expressing readiness to work towards what she described as the consolidation of ongoing reforms.

The development has, however, drawn attention within political circles due to her family background. She is the daughter of former Senate President, David Mark, a prominent opposition figure and current National Chairman of the African Democratic Congress (ADC).

Mark, who served as Senate President between 2007 and 2015 and later represented Benue South in the Senate, is a leading figure in the opposition coalition positioning itself to challenge Tinubu in the 2027 general elections.

The ADC-led coalition includes notable political heavyweights such as former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and former Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi, both of whom are key actors in efforts to build a united opposition front.

While there has been no official reaction from David Mark, his daughter’s open support for a pro-Tinubu campaign platform suggests a possible divergence in political alignment within the family.

The Take Action Campaign Organisation describes itself as a citizen-driven platform aimed at highlighting the achievements of the Tinubu administration and sensitising Nigerians to its policies and reforms.
