A prominent youth aspirant under the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kaduna State, Mahmud Sadis Buba, has officially withdrawn from the race for the House of Representatives.

The 30-year-old politician, widely known across the state by his traditional title and political moniker, Abin Al-Ajabin Zazzau, was contesting for the ticket to represent the Sabon Gari Federal Constituency in the forthcoming legislative elections.

Buba announced his sudden decision to step down from the legislative race just as the ruling party commences its nationwide screening and primary election protocols for federal legislative seats.

While he did not immediately detail the specific political calculations or internal party arrangements that necessitated his exit, his withdrawal has sent ripples through the constituency’s youth voting bloc, where he had built considerable momentum.

The Sabon Gari Federal Constituency remains a highly competitive political battleground within Kaduna State, and Buba’s exit significantly reshapes the dynamics of the APC primary contest for the remaining contenders.

Party stakeholders and youth groups within the constituency are already reacting to the development, with many praising his decision to prioritize party cohesion, while others are waiting to see which of the remaining aspirants he will endorse ahead of the primary voting.
