Abdulsamad Rabiu, Chairman of BUA Group, has declined a nomination to serve on the ruling All Progressives Congress’ finance committee.
This was revealed in a Friday press statement on the company’s X handle.
Rabiu had previously been nominated by the party to serve on the 34-member committee committee that was formed on Thursday.
Other committees were formed by the party’s National Working Committee (NWC) following its meeting at the national secretariat in Abuja.
According to the company, the APC did not communicate with its chairman before adding his name on the list.
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.
“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.”
