President Muhammadu Buhari has joined the government and people of Kaduna State in mourning a former civilian governor of the state, Alhaji Balarabe Musa, saying that he will be sorely missed by all Nigerians who have diligently followed his antecedents as a voice for the voiceless.
A statement by Garba Shehu Senior Special Assistant to the President (Media & Publicity) in Abuja on Wednesday, said the president believes that Musa reflected the passion and vigour that heralded Nigeria’s independence, which steadily translated into activism for return to democracy at the height of military interregnum and has remained steadfast in the call for good and inclusive governance.
As the former governor goes home, the President affirmed that he left a bold footprint on Nigeria’s democracy, and his role in promoting good governance and development will always be remembered and appreciated by posterity.
President Buhari prayed that the almighty God will grant his soul eternal rest, and comfort his family, friends and associates.
