David Mark’s Daughter
Defeats Uncle To Win Reps Seat.
POLITICS
Blessing
Onuh, daughter of former Senate President David Mark has won Otukpo/Ohimini
House of Representatives seat.
Onuh, who
won on the platform of All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA) defeated her
uncle, Egli Johnson Ahubi, the deputy speaker in Benue State House of Assembly.
Ahubi, who
contested on the platform of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) lost to Onuh with a
wide margin.
Meanwhile,
Ahubi, who is Onuh’s cousin, has conceded defeat and congratulated her niece.
Onuh dumped
PDP for APGA barely two weeks after the controversial loss of the party’s
ticket for Otukpo/Ohimini Federal Constituency.
Her victory
has contradicted remarks by some PDP chieftains in the constituents that she
was not known before now as a member of the party and that she was only riding
on her father’s influence.
