Timeline
Lawal Kaita (4 October 1932 – 2 January 2018) was a Nigerian politician elected on the National Party of Nigeria (NPN) platform as governor of Kaduna State, Nigeria, holding office between October and December 1983, when the Nigerian Second Republic ended with the coup that brought General Muhammadu Buhari to power.
Kaita was born on 4 October 1932 in Katsina, in the far north of Nigeria.
He is a blood relative of President Umaru Musa Yar'Adua and a member of the royal family of Nagogo, traditional rulers of the Emirate of Katsina.
He attended Barewa College, Zaria (1946–1950) and later studied at the London School of Economics (1971–1972).

Kaita helped the NPN to impeach Governor Musa in June 1981.
In 1982, after the death of the Emir, Kaita contested the emirship of Katsina.Usman Nagogo.
He was elected Governor of Kaduna State in the 1983 election, holding office for a few months until the military coup in December of that year.
Kaita was a member of the Constitutional Conference (1994–1995).
The PDM merged with The New Dimension, The National Transformation Congress, some prominent members of the Eastern Mandate Union and some State chapters of the Committee for National Consensus (CNC) to form Peoples Consensus Party under which they seek registration during the Sani Abacha transition but they were not registered.
He was a founding member of the People's Democratic Party PDP in 1998.
The administration of President Olusegun Obasanjo, which came to power in May 1999, appointed Kaita chairman of one of the parastatals in the Ministry of Transport.
In August 2001, he was engaged in a struggle for control of the PDM movement with the Minister of Works and Housing, Tony Anenih.
In May 2002, he was president of the Nigerian Polo Association.
In June 2003, he was chairman of the Maritime Authority, a member of the board of trustees of the PDP, and a director of the SGBN Bank.
He continued to be an influential politician in the Nigerian Fourth Republic and was one of the founders of the Action Congress of Nigeria (AC) party in September 2006.
Kaita left the PDP to join others in forming the Action Congress (AC) party in September 2006; Vice President Atiku Abubakar, representing the Action Congress, launched his unsuccessful bid for the presidency in 2007.
In the run-up to the elections, the 74-year-old Kaita was arrested by the State Security Services on charges that he had recruited and trained Hooligans.
In March 2010, there were rumors that Kaita might be returning to the PDP following a meeting with the Katsina State Governor Ibrahim Shema and other PDP leaders.
In a newspaper interview in April 2010, Kaita said that as chairman of a conclave of Atiku Abubakar's associates, he expected Atiku to rejoin the PDP.
On 19 August 2010, Kaita was received back to the PDP by Governor Shema, in an event attended by 50,000 decampees from the Action Congress in Ingawa, Kusada and Kankia local governments.
Some sources have attributed the following quote to him prior to the 2011 presidential election: "The North is determined if it happens, to make Nigeria 'ungovernable' for President Jonathan or any other Southerner who finds his way to the seat of power on the platform of the PDP against the principle of the party's zoning policy.
He died on 2 January 2018, aged 85.
