President Muhammadu Buhari has joined the government and people of
Kaduna State in mourning a former civilian governor of the state, Alhaji
Balarabe Musa.
The president, in a condolence message by his spokesman, Malam Garba
Shehu, in Abuja on Wednesday said the deceased would be sorely missed by
all Nigerians, who have diligently followed his antecedents as a voice
for the voiceless.
President Buhari believed 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 had
remained steadfast in the call for good and inclusive governance.
According to him, as the former governor goes home, he left a bold
footprint on Nigeria’s democracy.
He added that the former governor’s role in promoting good governance
and development would always be remembered and appreciated by posterity.
Buhari prayed that the almighty God would grant his soul eternal rest,
and comfort his family, friends, and associates. (NAN)
