Chairman of BUA Group, Abdul Samad Rabiu, has pledged continued support for President Bola Tinubu’s administration, describing the President as passionate about Nigeria and committed to the country’s progress.
Rabiu gave the assurance on Sunday in Makkah, Saudi Arabia, during a dinner hosted by Tinubu for members of his delegation participating in the lesser Hajj.
The billionaire industrialist said the gathering provided an opportunity for members of the delegation to pray for Nigeria’s peace, unity and prosperity, while appreciating the President’s efforts towards national development.
He disclosed that the delegation had held three dinners with Tinubu since arriving in Makkah, with discussions focusing on Nigeria’s future and the importance of sustained prayers for the country’s progress.
Speaking after the gathering, Rabiu said the discussions centred on national unity, peace and the need to support the President’s development agenda.
“We discussed, you know, to always continue to pray for Nigeria, for peace, for unity and for Nigeria’s prosperity. To again, you know, thank His Excellency for his passion, for what he’s doing for Nigeria,” he said.
The BUA Group chairman reaffirmed his commitment to supporting Tinubu’s administration, regardless of the capacity in which such support might be required.
“We will continue to support His Excellency in whatever capacity we can and definitely, as you all know, Mr President is very passionate about the country. He’s working very hard, and we’ll continue to support him,” Rabiu added.
His remarks came as Tinubu urged Nigerians to transform the country’s ethnic, religious and cultural diversity into a source of prosperity, national unity and sustainable development.
The President also prayed for peace, national cohesion and wisdom for the country’s leaders, calling on citizens across religious and ethnic divides to work together in the interest of the nation.
Kwara State Governor and Chairman of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum, Abdulrahman AbdulRazaq, also pledged continued prayers for Tinubu and Nigeria.
