Mahmud Sadis Buba, widely known as Al-ajabin Zazzau, has officially withdrawn from the race to represent Sabon Gari Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, citing party unity as the primary reason for his decision. The announcement was made through a formal letter addressed to the Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kaduna State. Buba, who is 30 years old and known for his short stature, emphasized that stepping down was not an easy choice but one made after careful consideration and consultations. He stated that reconciliation efforts led by party leaders and stakeholders played a significant role in influencing his decision.
In the letter, Buba expressed his commitment to the APC’s broader goals, particularly the importance of presenting a united front ahead of the general elections. He highlighted that extensive discussions with his family, political allies, and party members led him to believe that consolidating support behind a single candidate would enhance the party’s chances of victory. “This was not an easy decision,” he wrote, “but it was hastened by the reconciliation efforts initiated by stakeholders and leaders of our party.”
Buba further stressed that party unity is essential not only for electoral success but also for the continued development of Sabon Gari and Kaduna State as a whole. He believes that a united APC will be better positioned to deliver on its promises to constituents. His withdrawal comes at a critical time as the party prepares for the upcoming elections, and his decision is expected to ease tensions within the party’s internal structures.
The move is seen as a strategic step toward avoiding internal conflicts that could weaken the APC’s campaign in the constituency. By stepping aside, Buba is allowing the party to focus on building a cohesive campaign strategy without the distraction of primary battles. His gesture has been welcomed by party leaders who have long advocated for unity and discipline within the APC ranks.
Al-ajabin Zazzau’s decision reflects a growing trend among Nigerian politicians to prioritize party cohesion over personal ambition, especially in the lead-up to national elections. His withdrawal is expected to pave the way for a more unified and focused campaign in Sabon Gari, potentially strengthening the APC’s position in the region. As the election season progresses, the party will now focus on selecting a candidate who can rally broad support and deliver on developmental promises to the people of Sabon Gari.
