Breaking: Buhari’s Son Steps Into Politics, Announces Reps Ambition

According to a letter dated April 3 and reportedly signed by Yusuf Buhari, he informed stakeholders of his plan to run for the federal legislative seat representing the Sandamu/Daura/Mai’Adua constituency under the platform of the All Progressives Congress.

In the letter, he expressed enthusiasm about his decision, stating that his goal is to promote effective leadership and drive development in his constituency.

Ahmad confirmed the development in a post on his account, noting that the move came after wide consultations with relevant stakeholders.

He added that Yusuf Buhari’s declaration marks his most notable step into active politics since his father left office, as he has largely remained out of the public political spotlight.

Meanwhile, APC stakeholders in Sandamu Local Government Area of Katsina State have reportedly endorsed Yusuf Buhari as their preferred candidate for the House of Representatives seat in the Daura/Sandamu/Mai’Adua constituency.

The endorsement was announced during a meeting at the Sandamu Local Government Secretariat, which brought together party leaders, elected officials, and political appointees across the constituency.

The council chairman, Usman Na Lado, said the decision was a collective one aimed at strengthening the party’s chances ahead of the 2027 elections. He explained that Yusuf Buhari was chosen based on his perceived competence and wide acceptance among stakeholders.

The stakeholders also reaffirmed their support for President Bola Tinubu’s re-election and Governor Dikko Umar Radda’s second-term bid, while backing Nasiru Yahaya Daura for the Katsina State Senatorial seat.

However, some sources within the party suggest that the endorsement of Yusuf Buhari may be influenced by directives from the state governor, indicating strong political backing for his candidacy.
