The Late Balarabe Musa died in the early hours of Wednesday at the age of 85, after suffering from a protracted illness.
Friends, well-wishers, and politicians have described the late former governor as an incorruptible leader, a patriot, and a detribalized politician who built bonds of friendship across the divide.
