A 30-year-old person living with disability (PWD), Mahmud Sadis Buba, has successfully passed the screening organised by the All Progressives Congress (APC) ahead of the election for the House of Representatives seat in Kaduna State.
Buba, who is widely known as Abin Al-Ajabin Zazzau, is contesting to represent the Sabon Gari Federal Constituency.
The aspirant lives with dwarfism, a condition that affects physical growth and development.
He recently attracted attention on social media after a video from his APC screening exercise circulated online.
During the screening, Buba disclosed that he is the first child in a family of nine and possesses a senior secondary school certificate.
He explained that people from his constituency encouraged him to join the race and represent them at the national assembly.
“I am not doing this for myself. It is from the people. People called me to serve them, and I will serve,” he said.
Buba is seeking to unseat Sadiq Ango Abdullahi, who won the constituency seat in 2023 on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) before later defecting to the APC.
Abdullahi is also contesting for another term under the ruling party.
