Yusuf Buhari, son of former Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari, has secured the All Progressives Congress (APC) ticket to contest the Daura/Sandamu/Mai’adua federal constituency seat ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Yusuf’s emergence as the party’s candidate followed a stakeholders’ meeting held in Katsina on April 28, where he was unanimously adopted without opposition, according to reports by the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN).
The move comes weeks after Yusuf formally declared his intention to run for the House of Representatives seat. In a letter dated April 3 and addressed to APC leaders in the constituency, he expressed his desire to provide effective leadership and drive development in the area.
“I am extremely delighted to inform you of my intention to contest for this position, as I aim to contribute to good leadership and bring development to our people,” he stated.
He further reinforced his ambition on April 23 during a visit to Dikko Radda at the Katsina State Government House.
The consensus decision was announced by Ahmed Dangiwa, chairman of the Daura zone consensus committee and former Minister of Housing and Urban Development, who confirmed Yusuf’s adoption as the APC flagbearer for the constituency.
Yusuf Buhari will now represent the APC in the Daura/Sandamu/Mai’adua federal constituency race as the party positions itself for the 2027 elections.
