A member of the House of Representatives, Hon. Blessing Onuh, the daughter of the National Chairman of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Senator David Mark, has taken a frontline role in supporting President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s re-election, joining the leadership of a pro-Tinubu campaign organisation.
The daughter of a key opposition figure in the president’s re-election push has raised questions about loyalty, perception, and cohesion within the ADC, the major opposition party.
Her appointment as National Woman Leader of the Take Action Campaign Organisation was announced on Saturday by its Director General, Tony Nwulu, a former member of the House of Representatives who sponsored the ‘Not Too Young To Run’ bill in the 8th National Assembly.
He presented Onuh’s appointment letter at the organisation’s campaign office in Abuja.
“I pledge to work tirelessly to ensure President Tinubu’s victory at the upcoming election,” Onuh said.
Her new role placed the ADC National Chairman’s daughter squarely within a campaign structure built to drive the president’s second-term bid, even as her father remains one of the leading figures coordinating an opposition coalition under the ADC banner.
“This organisation is focused on showcasing the various achievements and educating the Nigerian masses on the reforms and policies of Mr. President,” she said.
As the 2027 general election approaches, ADC has already suffered high-profile internal setbacks.
In January, Atiku’s son, Abba Abubakar, dumped the opposition ADC and joined the ruling APC, where he pledged to work for Tinubu’s second-term bid and directed his political structure to mobilise support for the president.
Meanwhile, Nwulu said the Take Action Campaign Organisation is focused on promoting the administration’s achievements and explaining its policies under the Renewed Hope Agenda to voters across the country.
