President Muhammadu Buhari has condoled with the family, and the All Progressives Congress (APC) political family over the death of Alhaji Musa Gwadabe, who he described as the “colossus in Kano politics”.
Okay.ng reported that Alhaji Musa Gwadabe, a former Minister of Labour died on Wednesday morning after a protracted illness.
He said the death of Gwadabe had deprived the nation of one of its most remarkable political leaders.
A statement by Malam Garba Shehu, a media aide to the President on Wednesday read:
“The late Musa Gwadabe was a complete gentleman. He was a smooth political operator and a very reliable ally with an unmatched record of support, leading to the emergence of the current APC administration and the incoming one.
‘‘I will not forget his tireless efforts to keep the party afloat during difficult times. That he died a few weeks ahead of the inauguration of the Tinubu/Shettima administration that he laboured so hard to bring about, is one of the ironies of life. May Allah repose his soul,” President Buhari said.
