The 75-year-old candidate defeated twelve other contestants in the primaries. He got 1,018 votes as against 340 scored by Johnbull Shekarau his closest rival.

Useni is currently serving as a Senator representing Plateau South senatorial zone.

He was once a Minister of the Federal Capital Territory and former Minister of Transport. He was also a close ally of the former military head of state, Sani Abacha.
