“Late Kabir was a visionary leader and grassroots mobiliser who served as Vice Chairman and later Acting Chairman of Mushin Local Government.
“His major contribution was his tireless fight for the promotion of democratic government in Nigeria as a prominent member of the National Democratic Coalition (NADECO) during the June 12, 1993 presidential annulment struggle.
