The former governor was initially said to have been admitted at Jiniya Hospital in Kaduna where the medical personnel told the family that the hospital could not undertake the operation and advised that he be flown overseas.
To that end, Kaduna State Governor, Mukhtar Ramalan Yero, arranged for his immediate movement to a specialist hospital in Dubai last Sunday ahead the surgery. Musa’s son, Malam Kassim Balarabe Musa, told The Guardian that his condition was getting better, adding that when he was admitted in Jiniya Hospital around March, surgery was recommended but the hospital does not have the facilities to carry it out.
So, he was asked to go outside the country for the operation,” he added. “But my father does not have the money to go abroad for the operation. Later, the Governor of Kaduna State came to our rescue and sponsored the treatment in Dubai. By the grace of God, very soon he would undergo the operation and be treated.”
He noted, however, that the father, being a farmer and a strong man, did not take the necessary rest when he was discharged from the Kaduna hospital but was still going to farm, adding: “It is not easy to have a big family and you stay at home, not working. I feel that is why he normally goes to the farm even when he is sick.
“Despite that he was still having pains, he went to the farm because he did not have the money and had to work for it. I know he hardly shares his personal problems with others, and would not ask people for assistance. We prayed to God to intervene and the intervention came through the governor.
“You know, if you want to make sacrifice, you definitely have to suffer and face some challenges, especially when you are in opposition and are a critic. He doesn’t have any work than farming. “Even as his son, I am facing challenges. Since I graduated with a First Class degree in Communication Technology, I am yet to get a meaningful job for myself to support the family.”
