Blessing Onuh, daughter of African Democratic Congress (ADC) national chairman David Mark, has been appointed as the National Woman Leader of the Take Action Campaign Organization, a group backing President Bola Tinubu's re-election bid.
Onuh, who currently represents Otukpo/Ohimini Federal Constituency in Benue State at the House of Representatives, will spearhead the campaign efforts of the organization.
Her appointment is a significant development in the build-up to the 2027 general elections, with many analysts predicting a keenly contested contest for the presidency.
President Tinubu's decision to appoint Blessing Onuh as the National Woman Leader of the Take Action Campaign Organization raises questions about the influence of party bigwigs in the election process. The appointment of someone with a strong party background, like Onuh, could be seen as an attempt to consolidate power within the party. However, this move may also be seen as an attempt to shore up support among female voters, a crucial demographic in Nigerian elections. As the 2027 general elections approach, it will be interesting to see how Onuh's appointment plays out in the campaign trail. The appointment also highlights the role of party machinery in determining the outcome of elections, and the need for greater transparency and accountability in the electoral process.
