In a stunning political debut, Yusuf Buhari, son of the late President Muhammadu Buhari, has formally declared his intention to contest for the House of Representatives seat in the Sandamu/Daura/Mai’Adua federal constituency under the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The announcement, made public on X by Bashir Ahmad, comes after extensive consultations with party leaders, community elders, and influential figures across the constituency—an effort designed to secure strong backing ahead of the APC primaries.
Political analysts warn that Yusuf’s entry could dramatically reshape the local political scene, given the weight of his family legacy in Katsina State and the broader northern region.
Traditionally an APC stronghold, the Sandamu/Daura/Mai’Adua constituency is now bracing for a highly competitive primary, as local aspirants recalibrate in response to Yusuf’s high-profile bid.
Though details of his campaign strategy and policy agenda remain under wraps, sources say Yusuf is intensifying grassroots engagements, signaling the start of a serious political journey.
Once a quiet figure in the shadows of his father’s presidency, Yusuf Buhari’s sudden leap into politics has left many asking: Could this be the rise of Katsina’s next political heavyweight?
