Buhari mourns demise of ex-Kaduna gov, Balarabe Musa
The President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd) has mourned the passing of the former Governor of Kaduna State, Balarabe Musa.
In a statement released by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, Buhari described Musa as a voice for the voiceless.
Buhari also hailed Musa’s role in “promoting good governance and development” and prayed God comforts his family.
The statement read, “President Muhammadu Buhari joins government and people of Kaduna State in mourning a former civilian governor of the state, Alhaji Balarabe Musa, whose passing 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.
“As the former governor goes home, the President affirms 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 prays that the almighty God will grant his soul eternal rest, and comfort his family, friends and associates.”
