2019 presidency: Billionaire, Scott Tommy rejects Buhari’s appointment into campaign advisory council

By John Owen Nwachukwu

Preminent
oil and gas businessman, Scott Tommey, has reiterated his apolitical
status in the country in spite of being named as one of the Advisory
Council of the President Muhammadu Buhari campaign team.

Tommy was named in the President Buhari’s advisory team constituted by Hajia Aisha Buhari, wife of the President.

He
was named alongside some popular Nigerians like Col. Hameed Ali (Rtd),
IGP Suleiman Abba (Rtd), General Buba Marwa, Dr Orji Uzor Kalu,
Professor Pat Utomi, Prince Tonye Princewill, Festus Keyamo (SAN) and
Muiz Banire (SAN).

But in a statement signed by his Media Aide
Femi Ajayi, on Tuesday, the billionaire oil magnate, said he was
honoured by the appointment but added that he would rather remain
apolitical.

The brief statement added, “It has become pertinent
to clarify the status of Mr Scott Tommey, the Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer of Osmoserve Global Limited, named into the Advisory
Council of President Muhammadu Buhari’s campaign team.

“While Mr
Tommey is honoured to have been considered for this appointment, he
feels obliged to let the public know that he is not into partisan
politics neither is he a card-carrying member of the APC.
