President Muhammadu Buhari has joined the government and people of Kaduna State in mourning the first civilian governor of the state, Alhaji Balarabe Musa.

He said Musa’s passage will be sorely missed by all Nigerians, who have diligently followed his antecedents as a voice for the voiceless.

According to a condolence message, by presidential media aide, Garba Shehu on Wednesday, said 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.

Buhari also prayed that the almighty God will grant his soul eternal rest, and comfort his family, friends and associates.
