He wrote, “Alhaji Balarabe Musa has died. May Allah forgive his souls and grant him Aljanna Firdausi Amin.

“Balarabe Musa; Inna lillahi wainna Illayhir rajiun. May Allah grant him Aljanna Firdausi. Amin.”

Musa was elected governor in 1979 but was impeached in controversial circumstances in 1981.

Often regarded as a progressive, Musa was in the trenches as well to rail against the military junta of late Gen Sani Abacha.

Born 21 August 1936, the elder statesman died in Kaduna at 84.
