The Middle Belt Forum, MBF has come out to say that the country would miss the wise counsel of former Governor of Kaduna state, Mallam Balarabe Musa who died recently.

MBF recently revealed that Nigeria has lost a great man whose death will create a vacuum that would be difficult to fill.

According to the National President of MBF, Dr. Pogu Bitrus, the deceased was an incorruptible Nigerian and an icon that lived a fulfilled life.

He added that Mallam Balarabe Musa was totally detribalized and he always issued statements that helped Nigeria to move forward while he was alive.

His words, “Balarabe Musa was a great man. We know he had good records. As Governor he didn’t just move along with the crowd and because of that they impeached him but he didn’t mind.”

“That did not destroy his political carrier. He continued to give statesmanly advise and issued statements that helped Nigeria to move forward.”

“He was somebody who was completely detribalized and haven been a member of the Peoples Redemption Party, PRP, the camp of Mallam Animu Kano which played politics of the ‘Talakawas’, that is politics of the ordinary people he impacted the lives of the ordinary people.

“So we have lost a great man and up till his death, he never stopped contributing positively to nation-building and giving wise counsel to Nigerians and Nigerian Government which we will all miss.

“We will miss a great icon, an incorruptible Nigerian whose demise has created a vacuum and we pray that he will meet his creator in the right way.”
