Depends. If the person being referred is more qualified than you are, I think it makes sense to refer him instead. He is staking his name when referring you after all. Is there anything that may make him think that you're not a good fit for the job?
If you are perfect for the role, why not get someone else to refer you? He may feel like it's nepotism or worry about setting a precedent. And what happens if you ask him and he tells you something you didn't want to hear?
Even though he is your uncle, he does not own you anything. He does not have an obligation to refer you. Have you tried having a conversation with him to understand why?
Get that referral!
Where are you at now?
Do you have a good relationship with your uncle?
