A 30-year-old political aspirant, Muhammad Sadis Buba, has sparked widespread reactions on social media after his appearance during a House of Representatives screening exercise in Kaduna State drew public attention.
Buba, who is seeking to represent the Sabon Gari Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, became an online sensation after photos and videos from the screening session surfaced, with many users expressing surprise at how young he looks despite being 30 years old.
During the exercise, he maintained that his political ambition was driven by public demand, stating: “The people called me to serve, I am not the one who called myself.”
Following the circulation of the footage, social media platforms were flooded with reactions, with many users diverting attention from his political message to his youthful appearance, sparking jokes and debates over his actual age.
While some commenters praised his confidence and readiness to serve, others questioned whether he looked old enough to contest for such a position.
One user commented, “He looks responsible though, age no be barrier,” while another wrote, “He looks like he just finished secondary school 😂.”
Despite the online buzz, Buba’s candidacy has continued to generate attention as discussions around youth participation in politics gain traction in the state and beyond.
