Biography
Ja'afar Abubakar Magaji is a Nigerian politician born on 4 October 1980 in Adamawa State.
He holds a BSc. in Business Management and has served as a member representing the Mubi North/Mubi South/Maiha Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives since 2022.
During his political career, he won the 2022 APC party primaries for that constituency by defeating four other aspirants. He supported constituents by distributing agricultural supplies like fertilizer, pesticides, and herbicides.
In the 2023 National Assembly elections, an Appeal Court in Abuja declared Jaafar Magaji, the APC candidate, winner of the election for his constituency, overriding a legal challenge against Jingi Rufai of the PDP. This led to INEC awarding him a certificate of return.
