Yusuf Buhari
By Abdullahi Abubakar
Yusuf, son of Nigeria’s late former President Muhammadu Buhari, has concluded arrangements to fill the political vacuum created by the demise of hus father by formally indicating his intention to contest for a seat in the House of Representatives, representing the Sandamu/Daura/Mai’Adua federal constituency under the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The development was disclosed in a statement shared on X by Bashir Ahmad, which noted that the decision followed a series of extensive consultations across key interest groups within the constituency.
The consultations reportedly involved party leaders, community elders, and other influential figures whose support is considered crucial ahead of party primaries.
“Following wide consultations, Yusuf Buhari, the son of our late boss, President Muhammadu Buhari, has informed stakeholders of his intention to contest for the House of Representatives seat for Sandamu/Daura/Mai’Adua constituency under the All Progressives Congress,” the statement read.
Yusuf Buhari’s move marks his first major step into active partisan politics, signalling a transition from private life into the public political arena.
