Mahmud Sadis Buba has successfully scaled the All Progressives Congress screening process as he seeks to represent Sabon Gari Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives.
Popularly known as Abin Al-Ajabin Zazzau, the thirty-year-old aspirant caused a significant stir at the party headquarters in Kaduna State.

His physical stature and remarkably youthful, cherubic features have sparked intense debate across social media platforms because he appears very much younger than his legal age.
The aspirant maintained a calm composure while appearing before the screening panel in traditional regalia. He addressed inquiries regarding his background and clarified that he is the eldest of nine siblings.
Despite his small frame, Buba insisted that his candidacy stems from a genuine grassroots movement rather than personal ambition.

Youthful aspirant Mahmud Buba passes screening
Buba explained to the officials that his decision to enter the race followed persistent calls from his community members. He is currently challenging a sitting lawmaker for the party ticket.
When questioned about his motivation to unseat the incumbent, he stated, “It is not from me. It is from the people.”
The candidate requested that the party allow his credentials to speak for themselves. He noted that he had met all constitutional requirements to participate in the primary election.
“Help to pass the screening, having passed the requirements, because people called me to serve them, and I will serve. I am not doing this for myself,” he told the panel.
