Yusuf Buhari, the only son of the late former president, Muhammadu Buhari, has indicated interest in running for a seat in the House of Representatives in the 2027 general election.
This was contained in a letter he signed and made public on Monday.
Yusuf, who also holds the traditional title of Talban Daura, will be contesting for the Sandamu/Daura/Mai’Adua Federal Constituency under the All Progressives Congress (APC). The seat is currently occupied by Aminu Jamo Daura, a first-time lawmaker, also of the APC.
“With all due respect, I am extremely delighted to write and inform you of my intention to contest for a seat in the House of Representatives for the above-mentioned constituency (Sandamu/Daura/Mai’Adua), under the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
“After wide consultations, I wish to contest for the seat of the House of Representatives, Sandamu/Daura/Mai’Adua, as my contribution to ensuring good and qualitative leadership.
“Your support will help my ambition succeed in bringing infrastructural development, as well as human capital development, to the people of this constituency.
“While expecting your full support and encouragement, I wish you all the very best in all your undertakings,” Yusuf’s letter reads.
The 33-year-old aspirant has earlier been endorsed by APC stakeholders from the constituency and is said to be the anointed candidate of the Katsina State governor.
