Nigerian Politician Mahmud Sadis Baba Withdraws Candidacy Amid Age Controversy
Mahmud Sadis Baba, a Nigerian politician and member of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), withdrew his candidacy for the Sabon Gari Federal Constituency election following controversy over his age. While Baba claimed to be 30 and attributed his youthful appearance to dwarfism, leaked documents including a passport and birth certificate suggested he was born in 2010, making him about 16 and ineligible to run. The APC initially defended him but later disqualified him amid allegations of age falsification.
