President Bola Tinubu has described the late Alhaji Aminu Dantata as a titan of integrity, humility, and generosity, whose life was dedicated to service, philanthropy, and devotion to others. During a condolence visit to the family of the late business mogul in Kano on Friday, President Tinubu praised Alhaji Dantata’s unwavering honesty, compassion, and generosity.
The President recalled the counsel and prayers he received from Alhaji Dantata during the 2023 presidential election campaign, describing him as a humble, simple, and sincere man. “If friendship and goodwill continue into the hereafter, Dantata will be there in the marketplace, feeding the hungry and comforting the sick,” he said.
President Tinubu extended heartfelt condolences to the Dantata family, the Government and people of Kano State, and the entire nation, praying for Allah’s mercy and grant of Aljannah Firdaus to the late elder statesman.
Kano State Governor, Kabir Yusuf, expressed gratitude to President Tinubu for his compassion and support during the mourning period, commending him for dispatching a high-powered federal delegation to Saudi Arabia and personally visiting the family.
The eldest son of the deceased, Alhaji Tajudeen Aminu Dantata, thanked the President for honouring the family with his presence and support, assuring that the family would uphold the values and legacy of their late patriarch.
The condolence visit was attended by several dignitaries, including Senate President Godswill Akpabio, Deputy Senate President Barau Jibrin, and other government officials.
