MOURNS FORMER GOVERNOR OF KADUNA STATE, BALARABE MUSA

President Muhammadu Buhari joined the government and people of Kaduna State in mourning a former civilian governor of the state, Alhaji Balarabe Musa, who passed away on Wednesday.

President Buhari in a state signed by Malam Garba Shehu, his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, said Alhaji Musa will be sorely missed by all Nigerians who have diligently followed his antecedents as a voice for the voiceless.

“President Buhari believes 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 and has remained steadfast in the call for good and inclusive governance,” the statement said.

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.

He prayed that God would grant his soul eternal rest, and comfort his family, friends, and associates.
