President Muhammadu Buhari has condoled with the family of the late elder statesman Alhaji Musa Musawa, who passed on on Tuesday.
Buhari described the death of the foremost politician and businessman and a one-time senator, as a great loss to Nigeria.
In a condolence message by his spokesman, Malam Garba Shehu, on Wednesday in Abuja, Buhari said the nation mourns the loss of a political giant and a true Nigerian.
Buhari said the deceased was ”a towering grassroots politician with a nuanced understanding of matters who had very few parallels as a campaigner in his heydays.”
He noted that the deceased 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.
“May Allah repose his soul and grant fortitude to his family, the government and the people of Katsina State to bear the loss.”
