President Muhammadu Buhari’s nephew, Fatuhu Muhammad, has lost a bid to get a re-election ticket for Daura/Sandamu/Maiadua Federal Constituency.
Mr Fatuhu is a House of Representatives member under of All Progressives Congress (APC).
He lost the primaries to Aminu Jamu.
Announcing the results on Friday night at Daura Local Government Secretariat, the returning officer, Bala Zango, said Mr Jamu polled 117 votes to emerge as the winner.
He added that that Fatuhu Muhammad came second with 30 votes.
In October 2018, three aspirants for the Daura/Sandamu/Maiadua Federal Constituency protested the alleged imposition of Mr Muhammad, saying the party and the state government were unjust to them.
In a joint statement, the three aspirants, Salisu Daura, Aminu Jamu and Kabir Abdullahi, criticized the state government and party for injustice, bias and subversion of electoral process.
