President Muhammadu Buhari on Wednesday joined government and people of Kaduna State in mourning a former civilian governor of the state, Alhaji Balarabe Musa, whom, he said, would be sorely missed by all Nigerians, who had diligently followed his antecedents as a voice for the voiceless.
In a statement by presidential spokesperson, Garba Shehu, Buhari said he believed the late Alhaji 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.
He said the former governor had remained steadfast in the call for good and inclusive governance.
The President also affirmed that he left a bold footprint on Nigeria’s democracy, and his role in promoting good governance and development would always be remembered and appreciated by posterity.
President Buhari prayed that the Almighty God would grant his soul eternal rest, and comfort his family, friends and associates.
