President Muhammadu Buhari Mourns Political Giant, Musa Musawa

President Muhammadu Buhari has mourned the death of foremost politician and businessman, Alhaji Musa Musawa, a one-time senator, saying the nation mourns the loss of a political giant and a true Nigerian.

Buhari in a statement by his media aide, Garba Shehu, described the deceased as “a towering grassroots politician with a nuanced understanding of matters who had very few parallels as a campaigner in his heydays.”

“He lived a worthy life, leaving us with innumerable happy memories of accomplishments as a politician, businessman and a community leader. We will miss him a lot,” the president said.

“May Allah repose his soul and grant fortitude to his family and the government and people of Katsina State to bear the loss.”
