Yusuf Buhari, son of former President Muhammadu Buhari, has secured the All Progressives Congress (APC) ticket to contest for the Daura/Sandamu/Mai’adua Federal Constituency seat in the 2027 general elections.
According to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), Yusuf emerged as the party’s candidate unopposed following a stakeholders’ meeting held in Katsina on Tuesday, April 28, where he was unanimously adopted.
The consensus decision was announced by Alhaji Ahmed Dangiwa, Chairman of the Consensus Committee for Daura Zone and a former Minister of Housing and Urban Development.
Reacting to the development, Mannir Musa, APC Chairman of Mai’adua Local Government Area, urged party members to accept the outcome in good faith and remain united.
He also appealed to Governor Dikko Radda to support aspirants who did not secure tickets, encouraging them to continue contributing to the development of their communities.
Musa further called on candidates who emerged through the consensus arrangement to prioritize effective representation if elected.
Other candidates adopted through the same process include Nasir Yahaya for the Daura senatorial seat and Mustapha Musa for the Mai’adua constituency in the Katsina State House of Assembly.
In his response, Yusuf Buhari expressed appreciation to party members for the trust placed in him and promised to deliver quality representation if elected.
