Chairman of BUA Group, Abdul Samad Rabiu, has rejected a purported appointment into a standing committee of Nigeria’s ruling All Progressives Party, APC.

Despite the appraisal, the statement announced that the Chairman has decided to graciously decline the nomination/appointment.
The statement reads, “We acknowledge the recent publication in several Nigerian national dailies dated December 1, 2023, regarding the purported appointment of our Chairman, Abdul Samad Rabiu, to a standing committee of a political party.
“This statement aims to clarify his position, as well as that of BUA Group, on this matter.
“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.
“However, it is important to note that our Chairman, Abdul Samad Rabiu and BUA Group have consistently adopted an apolitical stance over the years.

“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.”
