A frontline aspirant for the Sabon Gari Federal Constituency seat in the House of Representatives under the All Progressives Congress (APC), Mahmud Sadis Buba, has officially withdrawn from the contest.
In a letter addressed to the Kaduna State Chairman of the APC, Buba said his decision followed ongoing reconciliation efforts by party leaders and stakeholders aimed at strengthening unity within the party ahead of the elections.
According to him, the decision came after wide consultations with his family, political associates, and stakeholders within the APC.
“I believe that uniting behind a single candidate is paramount to our victory in the general election and for the continued progress of our constituency and state,” he stated.
Buba expressed appreciation to the leader of the party in Kaduna State, Governor Uba Sani, and the APC leadership for giving him the opportunity to participate in the nomination process.
He described the experience as enriching and thanked his supporters and constituents for standing by him throughout the political journey.
The former aspirant maintained that his withdrawal should not be interpreted as weakness, but rather as a sacrifice made in the interest of party unity and electoral success.
“My withdrawal is not a sign of weakness, but a sacrifice for the greater good of the party,” he said.
He also reaffirmed his loyalty to the APC and pledged to work for the success of the party’s eventual candidate in the forthcoming elections.
Buba urged his supporters to remain calm and united, while throwing their support behind the party’s decision and its consensus candidate.
Meanwhile, reactions have continued to trail his withdrawal, with political observers speculating that ongoing scrutiny surrounding discrepancies in his personal records may have influenced the decision. However, no official statement has been issued by security agencies or the APC linking his withdrawal to any investigation.
