President Muhammadu Buhari’s son, Yusuf, has received a chieftaincy title in the Daura Emirate as the Talban of Daura.

Mr Yusuf, born in the 1990s, was named the Talban of Daura Emirate, Mr Buhari’s media Garba Shehu announced in a Facebook post on Tuesday.

Posting a photo of himself, Yusuf, and Musa Daura, Mr Shehu said, “With Yusuf Buhari, just named Talban Daura and Musa Daura, the Dan Madamin Daura.”

Mr Yusuf completed his National Youth Service Corps in 2018. He is expected to marry Zarah, the Emir of Bichi’s daughter.

Nasir Ado Bayero heads the Bichi emirate in Kano.

Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, reportedly led the representatives of Mr Buhari to Kano on Sunday, where they sought the hands of Ms Zarah in marriage for the younger Mr Buhari.
