The All Progressives Congress (APC) mourns the death of former Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Justice Dahiru Musdapher CFR.
This was expressed in a statement signed by the National Publicity Secretary of the party, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi.
“While the death of the late Justice Musdapher is a sad and painful loss to the family; his home state, Jigawa; the country’s judicial community and indeed the entire nation, we should take solace on the fact that he lived impactful life.
“Many who were close to the erudite jurist fondly described him as an avid reader who loved Nigeria and had a passion for the job.
“Aside his distinguished service to the country as the 13th CJN, the Party recall his exemplary service as Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Kaduna State; Chief Judge of Kano State Judiciary and Justice, Court of Appeal, among other important appointments,” it stated.
It described him as a staunch proponent for judicial reforms in the country, the late Musdapher was a frontline bastion for the entrenchment of constitutional democracy in the country. Indeed, his transition marks the exit of a great legal icon and an astute adjudicator.
“The APC offers deep condolences and pray the Almighty Allah grant his deserving soul eternal rest and the family the strength to bear the loss,” it concluded..
