Yusuf Buhari, son of the late former President Muhammadu Buhari, has officially declared his intention to contest for a seat in the House of Representatives, representing the Sandamu/Daura/Mai’Adua Federal Constituency in Katsina State under the All Progressives Congress (APC).

In a statement released on Monday, April 6, 2026, Yusuf said his decision followed extensive consultations with key party stakeholders, community leaders, and constituents across the constituency. He noted that his ambition is driven by a desire to continue serving the people and contribute to national development.

His declaration marks a significant step into active politics, coming after the passing of his father, and signals a potential continuation of the Buhari political legacy in northern Nigeria.
