A bold footprint on Nigeria’s democracy – Buhari
President Muhammadu Buhari on Wednesday joined government and people of Kaduna State in mourning a former civilian governor of the state, Alhaji Balarabe Musa.
President Buhari, in a statement issued by his spokesman, Garba Shehu, said the deceased will be sorely missed by all Nigerians, who have diligently followed his antecedents as a voice for the voiceless.
The President 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.
Buhari added that the deceased 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.
The President prayed that the almighty God will grant his soul eternal rest, and comfort his family, friends and associates.
