He subsequently joined the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in 2009, where he worked in the federal public service. His experience in these institutions gave him exposure to public administration, communications and the operations of federal government agencies before he entered elective politics.

Tukura entered the National Assembly through the 2019 general elections, when he was elected to represent the Zuru/Fakai/Sakaba/Danko-Wasagu Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives on the APC platform.

He has also been associated with constituency interventions in education, healthcare, water supply and other community infrastructure.

In May 2026, Tukura emerged from the APC primary process as the party's candidate for the Zuru/Fakai/Sakaba/Danko-Wasagu Federal Constituency ahead of the 2027 House of Representatives election. His emergence followed the party's primary exercise in Kebbi State. There were reported disagreements from supporters of another aspirant concerning the conduct of the primary, while Tukura was declared the APC nominee.
