Kaduna APC Aspirant Withdraws From Reps Race Amid Age Controversy
Buba, popularly known as “Abin Al’Ajabin Zazzau,” was seeking to represent the Sabon Gari Federal Constituency before questions reportedly emerged over claims that he was born in August 2010, sparking debates about whether he met the constitutional age requirement for the position.
In a withdrawal letter addressed to the Kaduna State chairman of the APC, the aspirant said his decision was reached after consultations with party leaders, political associates and family members.
According to him, stepping down became necessary in the interest of unity within the party and to support reconciliation efforts ahead of the elections.
Buba stated that backing a consensus candidate would strengthen the APC’s chances in the constituency and contribute to the party’s overall success in Kaduna State.
He also expressed appreciation to Governor Uba Sani and the APC leadership for allowing him to participate in the political process, describing the experience as valuable and rewarding.
The former aspirant thanked his supporters for their loyalty and support throughout the campaign period, while urging them to remain peaceful and committed to the party.
He maintained that his withdrawal should not be viewed as a sign of weakness, but rather as a sacrifice made for party unity and progress.
