Mike Mku

[1][2][3][4] He is the son of Late Chief Aul Mku, who was the District Head of Yandev-South, from Yandev - a suburb of Gboko town in the North-West province of Benue State.

His job as a lawmaker was interrupted after three months when the military on 31 December 1983 seized power and suspended all political activities, a situation which made him take appointment at the Benue Cement Company (BCC).

His second contest for the office of the Governor was in 2003 General Elections on the platform of the United Nigeria People's Party(UNPP).

As the party's Flag Bearer, he fought the fiercest battle to unseat the incumbent and almost succeeded but eventually lost.

In 2007, against all odds, Mku made an appearance for the senate ticket of Zone "B" but the instrumentality of the incumbent government at the time worked against him.

[9] Mku later served as the Chairman of Board of Trustees at Benue Investment and Property Company Limited, BIPC[10] from 2019 to June 2023.

He established an industry called Rock Field Ltd at Tarukpe market where young people of the community work various jobs to earn their living.
