BUA Chairman, Abdulsamad Rabiu Rejects APC Appointment

Abdulsamad Rabiu, the chairman of BUA Group, has declined an appointment by the All Progressives Congress (APC) to serve as a member of the party’s finance standing committee.

The ruling party had on Friday released lists and names for various committees, including Rabiu in the finance committee.

However, in a counter statement, the BUA Group clarified that Rabiu was not consulted before his name was added to the list and emphasized his apolitical stance.

The group emphasized Rabiu’s political stance in the country over the years and his commitment to economic prosperity.

The BUA Group expressed gratitude for the recognition but stated that Rabiu had decided to decline the appointment due to lack of prior consultation and his busy schedule.

The statement partly read, “It is important to note that our Chairman, Abdul Samad Rabiu and BUA Group have consistently adopted an apolitical stance over the years.

“This approach is integral to the nature of our business and aligns with Mr. Rabiu’s focus on fostering economic growth through BUA Group’s initiatives and philanthropic efforts through ASR Africa.

“We extend our sincere appreciation to the APC for considering our chairman for such a distinguished role.

“This acknowledgment reflects the recognition of his commitment, and that of BUA Group, to economic prosperity and the development of our dear nation, Nigeria.

“With respect to this, we wish to inform the publishers, our partners, stakeholders, and the general public that Mr. Rabiu has decided to graciously decline the nomination/appointment.

“This decision is made in light of the fact that he was not previously consulted regarding his inclusion in the list and his inability to commit time due to his demanding schedule.”

The inauguration of the committees is scheduled to be held on December 6 at its national secretariat in Abuja.

Kanyi Daily recalls that Bola Tinubu said that poverty, though not a source of shame, is deemed unacceptable under his leadership in Nigeria.
