Meet The Young Boy Contesting, Can This Young Politician Really Become Kaduna Governor?Added:
So there's this trending video of one small boy. Oh my bad. One small man who boldly came out for a political office in this Nigeria. And when you hear the political office and even the political party involved, you go shock. But wait first, this country keep because why is this young man campaigning with an iPhone pro in his hand like a normal thing? I've been a media overinker if it be normal. H Nigeria will really test your emotions but don't panic.
>> Oh my god.
>> Oh my god.
>> And you want to serve them?
>> Yes.
>> And how many of those people are running? How many people are running against you?
>> Now listen to this. This young man identified as Mahmud Sadis Boua, a 30-year-old politician and grassroots mobilizer from Kaduna state has officially emerged as one of the early contendants for the House of Representatives seats for Sabon Gary federal constituency ahead of the 2027 general elections. Yes. So, House of Representatives. And the funny thing is when people kept asking him questions like why do you really think you should run? Who sent you? Why you? My brother just kept calmly saying I was chosen by the people. I did not choose myself. H you working closely with your governor.
Is that aware that you're here?
>> I have seen how are you to win the do you have any?
>> Yes.
>> How do you want us to help you?
>> Yes. How do we help you?
>> Yes. go to brothers because people called me to serve and I will serve. I'm not calling myself to serve them.
>> Oh my god.
>> And you want to serve them?
>> Yes.
>> Now, honestly speaking, just aside for a moment, this is actually very commendable because whether you like it or not, for people around him to push him forward and believe in him enough to represent them politically, it means they probably see leadership qualities in him. And in a country where many youth complain that older politicians never give younger people opportunities, this kind of thing would definitely get people talking. But Nigerians being Nigerians, the main thing many people are talking about now is not even the politics is his age. Because some Nigerians are saying this guy not look 30 years at all. Which kind 30 years be this? Say no be secondary school preets.
Nigerians. Meanwhile, others are saying leave him if he has the capacity and the people support him. Age doesn't matter.
And honestly, that's another conversation entirely because leadership is not always by age. Sometimes it's vision, confidence, connection with the people and the ability to speak for your community matter. But no lie, the iPhone 17 Pro is what is catching people's attention. In this country, people really have levels. But all jokes aside, this young man already has stated that he has political opponents and competition ahead of 2027, meaning the road no easy at all. And how many of those people are running? How many people are running against you?
>> Yeah. Only two.
>> Only two. Why don't you talk to the other person to step down for you?
>> No. In the current number.
>> How many times has the first time?
>> First time. Why do you want to replace him?
That's okay.
Politics in Nigeria is not a child's play, especially for House of Representatives position where influence, structure, popularity, and strong grassroots support matter very well. Now, the big question is this. Do you really think he's 30 years old? Have you seen a 30-year-old looking like this before? And more importantly, do you think this young man can actually win his election despite having political opponents already preparing for the same seat? and they might even be older. I really want to hear from you my people because Nigerians are seriously divided on this one. Drop your honest opinion in the comment section and let us discuss it respectfully. How old are you? How old are you?
30 years. Really?
Wow. You're 30 years.
And your mom is there, your dad is there. How many you have? How many siblings do you have?

>> Yes.
>> How do you want us to help you?
>> Yes. How do we help you?
Then I will serve. I'm not going to help myself. Oh my god.
>> Oh my god.
>> And you want to serve them?
>> Yes.
>> And how many of those people are running? How many people are running against you?
>> In only two.
>> Only two. Why don't you talk to the other person to step down for you?
>> No. In the current exact number.
