Yusuf Buhari, son of the late former President Muhammadu Buhari, has secured the All Progressives Congress (APC) ticket for the Daura/Sandamu/Mai’adua Federal Constituency ahead of the 2027 general elections.
His emergence followed a stakeholders’ meeting held in Katsina on Tuesday, where he was unanimously adopted as the party’s candidate. Yusuf clinched the ticket unopposed under a consensus arrangement endorsed by party leaders in the zone.
The decision was announced by the Chairman of the Consensus Committee for Daura Zone, Alhaji Ahmed Dangiwa, a former Minister of Housing and Urban Development.
Reacting to the development, the APC Chairman in Mai’adua Local Government, Mannir Musa, called on party members to accept the outcome in good faith and maintain unity.
“I urge all our people to be obedient and accept the consensus reached by the committee and stakeholders in good faith. We should all work together for the unity and progress of the party and our people,” Musa said.
He also appealed to the Katsina State Governor, Dikko Radda, to accommodate aspirants who did not secure tickets, encouraging their continued contribution to public service.
Musa further disclosed other consensus candidates, including Nasir Yahaya for the Daura senatorial seat and Mustapha Musa for the Mai’adua constituency in the Katsina State House of Assembly.
In his remarks, Yusuf Buhari expressed gratitude to party members for the confidence placed in him, pledging to deliver effective and quality representation if elected.
