Buhari Describes Balarabe Musa As One of Nigeria’s Brightest Stars | TheCable

President Muhammadu Buhari has described Balarabe Musa, ex-governor of the old Kaduna state as a “man of unassailable integrity and untainted record of public service”.

In a statement by Garba Shehu, his spokesman, Buhari said “even Musa’s worst enemies and critics cannot dispute his remarkable reputation for integrity and selfless service to the people”.

“Balarabe Musa is one of Nigeria’s brightest stars of integrity and sterling principles,” Buhari said in a statement to commemorate the 81st birthday anniversary of Musa.

He recalled that his close association with Musa in the Conference of Nigerian Political Parties (CNPP) had enabled him to appreciate the “radical politician’s patriotism and his commitment to building a strong opposition in the country in order to deepen democracy”.

The president lauded Musa’s independent-mindedness, adding that he can criticise even his friends, associates and allies when it comes to politics.

He, therefore, urged other politicians and younger citizens to emulate “Musa’s virtuous life of integrity, selflessness and patriotism in order to make Nigeria achieve progress”.
