The ADC Youth Wing in Kaduna Central announced it will purchase the Senatorial nomination forms for one of its own Hon. Yusuf Muhaska, setting up a direct challenge to incumbent Senator Lawal Adamu Usman, known as Mr. Laa. Framing the move as a generational intervention, the youth leadership said they’re backing Muhaska to push for competence, equity, and a break from the current political status quo as the National Assembly race intensifies.
The group argued that modern governance demands representatives with both mental sharpness and physical agility. They positioned Muhaska as that candidate, citing his energy to be active on the frontlines for Kaduna Central residents and his legislative experience, which they say would let him contribute effectively from day one.
Beyond backing an individual, the ADC youths are using the race to address youth representation. The youth wing explained that by contesting for one of the three senatorial seats and leaving the others to older politicians, the party is trying to balance the 40% youth quota in leadership. They see this as a way to ensure both young and older constituents have a voice in lawmaking.
Muhaska’s supporters highlight his nearly 15 years in the legislative sphere as a key advantage. Despite being part of the younger generation, he brings deep policy and parliamentary knowledge that they believe matches up to Mr. Laa. Known for grassroots mobilizing and philanthropy, his growing influence has reportedly unsettled the ruling APC, positioning him as a significant third force in the election.
With the youth wing funding his form purchase, Muhaska’s candidacy is being presented as a collective movement rather than an individual run. This sets up a high-profile contest in Kaduna Central between the energetic Muhaska Camp and the established influence of Mr. La. His entry is expected to shift the focus toward performance, youth inclusion, and legislative track records in the upcoming election.
