Mahmud Sadis Buba, popularly known as Al-ajabin Zazzau, has reportedly withdrawn from the race to represent Sabon Gari Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives following a controversy surrounding his age.
According to reports, members of his family submitted his international passport for verification to determine his actual age. The document allegedly confirmed that he was born in 2010, indicating that he is currently 15 years old, contrary to the age of 30 which he had earlier claimed.
The development has sparked widespread reactions across Nigeria, especially on social media, with many Nigerians debating the controversy and raising concerns over age falsification in politics.
Observers say the incident has once again brought attention to the issue of transparency and credibility among political aspirants in the northern region and the country at large.
As of the time of filing this report, Al-ajabin Zazzau has yet to officially respond to the allegations or release a public statement regarding the matter.
