A former governor of Kaduna State, Balarabe Musa, has bowed out of this earthly plane.
Born August 21, 1936, Musa was a left-wing Nigerian politician elected Governor of Kaduna State, Nigeria during the Nigerian Second Republic, holding office from October 1979 until he was impeached on June 23, 1981.
His death was announced by his political associate and Senator Shehu Sani.
“Alhaji Balarabe Musa has died. May Allah forgive his souls and grant him Aljanna firdausi.Amin,” Mr Sani wrote on Twitter.
He is considered a progressive and worked with people of like minds to mobilise against the military junta of late Sani Abacha.
