SAN FRANCISCO, December 09, (THEWILL) – President Muhammadu Buhari has sent his condolences to the government and people of Kaduna State over the passing away of Sen. Muktar Ahmed Aruwa, who represented Kaduna Central Constituency in 1999 (APP) and 2003 (ANPP).
Confirming the death of the Senator, one of his younger brothers, Suleiman, said he died at about 4:30 a.m. at a private hospital in Kaduna.
“As Muslims, we know Allah takes and give but it’s painful because we are going to miss him seriously. He was a good man who always minds his business.
“No matter what you did to him, the moment you apologise, he will forgive and forget. We are going to miss him seriously,” he said.
The President said he commiserates with the National Assembly, family, friends and political associates of the deceased, recounting the many contributions of the senator to the growth of democracy in Nigeria, especially during his days at the legislature.
He affirmed that Sen. Aruwa lived to serve the country in many facets, including sports, noting that his founding of Ranchers Bees Football Team, Kaduna, provided a platform for grooming youths for the national team and international clubs.
President Buhari said he believes Sen. Aruwa’s life and times were memorable, and most remarkable for his love for humanity, which saw him sponsoring many charitable causes to support the poor and vulnerable, and speaking up for a more equitable society.
