Yusuf Buhari, the son of former President Muhammadu Buhari, has been given the automatic ticket of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to contest for the Daura/Sandamu/Mai’adua Federal Constituency seat in the 2027 elections.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports he picked the ticket unopposed after a stakeholders’ meeting held in Katsina on April 28, 2026 unanimously adopted him as the party’s candidate.
The consensus agreement was announced by the Chairman, Consensus Committee for Daura Zone, Alhaji Ahmed Dangiwa, a former Minister of Housing and Urban Development.
Speaking after Yusuf’s adoption, Mannir Musa, APC Chairman, Mai’adua Local Government Area, urged party members to accept the outcome in good faith.
Musa said: “I urge all our people to be obedient and accept the consensus reached by the committee and stakeholders in good faith.
“We should all work together for the unity and progress of the party and our people.”
He also appealed to the Katsina State Governor, Dikko Radda, to support aspirants who did not get tickets so that they could continue to serve their people.
