Birthdays are meant to be enjoyed irrespective of the celebrant and the age being celebrated.
Ordinarily, this theory should apply to Abdulsamad Rabiu, founder of BUA Group and the Abdul Samad Rabiu Africa Initiative (ASR Africa).
Rabiu celebrated his 63rd birthday on Thursday, August 4., but it was not without a sour taste in his mouth.
Amidst the many successes of the man in the commercial sector of Nigeria and indeed Africa, is the worrisome allegation of Bua Group being involved in illicit forex deals with Nigeria’s apex bank, Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), spanning between January to March 2016.
Although Bua Group has denied the viral allegation describing it as false and entirely unfounded, the allegation and the unpalatable odour it oozes have just refused to go away.
Though the speculation about the alleged forex dealing had been on before Rabiu’s birthday celebration, there is no denying it put a dent in Rabiu’s celebration.
Not even a presidential goodwill message from President Bola Tinubu has been able to sweeten the sour feel that dampened the celebration.
