Tinub said: “I received with great shock and grief, the news of the death of an illustrious public servant and a jurist of high intellectual repute, Hon. Justice Musa Nabaruma, chief judge of Yobe state.
“The late chief Judge was not just the longest serving in that capacity in the history of Yobe state, he was respected by all for his sense of justice, fairness, and equity,” he said
The APC leader said that as a judicial officer, the late chief judge discharged himself creditably.
“On behalf of myself and my wife, Oluremi, I wish to express our sincere sympathy and deepest condolences to Your Excellency, the Nigerian Judiciary, his immediate and extended family, as well as the entire people of Yobe state, on this irreparable loss.
“Our hearts are with you all at this moment.
“We pray that Almighty Allah grant his soul eternal rest, comfort his family and give us all, the fortitude to bear this loss,” Tinubu said.
