Yusuf Muhammadu Buhari has declared his intention to contest for the House of Representatives seat representing Daura/Sandamu/Mai’Adua Federal Constituency in Katsina State ahead of the 2027 general elections.

The development emerged on X (formerly Twitter), where it was indicated that the declaration was made during a courtesy visit to the Katsina State Governor, Dikko Radda.

As of the time of filing this report, official details of the visit and declaration were yet to be independently confirmed by relevant authorities. However, sources familiar with the development suggest the move may be part of early political consultations ahead of the 2027 polls.

Efforts to obtain confirmation from the camp of Yusuf Buhari and the Katsina State Government were ongoing at press time.

If confirmed, the move would signal the formal entry of the former president’s son into elective politics, a development expected to draw significant attention within Katsina State’s political landscape.
