According to a NAN report, Moghalu said Balarabe Musa was an exceptional Nigerian.
“I am sad to learn of the passage today of the late Balarabe Musa, Second Republic Governor of Kaduna State and Head of the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP).
“Forthright, principled, and a firm believer in equity in Nigeria, he shunned the primitive accumulation of illicit wealth and stood for the poor.
“Notably as well, Balarabe argued that Nigeria’s president in 2023 should be from the Southeast region,” Moghalu said.
Balarabe Musa lived a simple life even while a Second Republic Governor of Kaduna State in 1979. He was impeached by the majority of the National Party of Nigeria (NPN) State House of Assembly on June 23, 1981.
