President Muhammadu Buhari has condoled with government and people of Kaduna State over the passing away of Senator Muktar Ahmed Aruwa, who represented Kaduna Central Constituency in 1999 (APP) and 2003 (ANPP).
The President commiserated 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 said 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.
The President said he believes that 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.
He prayed that the almighty God would grant Aruwa’s soul eternal rest and comfort his family.
