The son of the late President Muhammadu Buhari, Yusuf (Talban Daura), has indicated interest in running for the House of Representatives seat in the 2027 poll.
This was contained in a letter which he personally signed and circulated to the media.
The letter, dated 3rd April 2026, is titled: “Expression of interest to contest for the seat of House of Representatives Sandamu/Daura/Mai’Adua Federal Constituency.”
It read, “With all respect, I am extremely delighted to write and inform you of my intention to contest for the seat of House of Representatives at the above-mentioned constituency (Sandamu/Daura/Mai’adua), under the platform of 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 ensure a good and qualitative leadership.
“Your support will help my ambition to succeed, to bring infrastructural development as well as human support and 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.”
Buhari’s expression of interest to contest the seat came barely a week after stakeholders of the APC in the Sandamu Local Government Area of Katsina State threw their weight behind him as their preferred choice for the Daura/Sandamu/Mai’adua Federal Constituency of the state.
