The recent buzz surrounding Mr. Abdul Samad Rabiu’s purported nomination as the head of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Standing Committee on Finance has been addressed in an official statement. Chairman of BUA Group, Mr. Rabiu, has firmly declined the nomination, clarifying his stance.
In an official statement issued by Tim Sogbeinde, the Head of Creatives & Visual Identity Management at BUA Group, gratitude was expressed to the APC for considering Mr. Rabiu for the esteemed position. The acknowledgment of Mr. Rabiu and BUA Group’s dedication to national economic prosperity and development was duly recognized.
The statement underscored Mr. Rabiu’s consistent and unwavering apolitical position, a stance integral to the modus operandi of both Mr. Rabiu and the BUA Group. It highlighted his relentless commitment to economic growth through BUA Group initiatives and philanthropic ventures via ASR Africa.
Reasons for Mr. Rabiu’s decline were cited in the statement, elucidating that he had not been consulted regarding his inclusion in the list. Additionally, his tight schedule made it unfeasible to commit the requisite time to the role.
“Our Chairman, Abdul Samad Rabiu, firmly believes in utilizing business acumen and philanthropic endeavors to drive positive societal change, independent of political engagement. His main contributions to Nigeria’s progress will persist through strategic investments and philanthropy, rather than political affiliations or roles,” the statement conveyed.
While he remains dedicated to supporting governmental policies conducive to development, Mr. Rabiu’s focus will continue to lie in roles he is most suited for—an entrepreneur, businessman, and philanthropist. This statement aims to provide clarity and reinforce Mr. Rabiu’s commitment to Nigeria’s advancement.
