Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has described the death of elder statesman, business magnate and politician, Alhaji Aminu Dantata, as a loss that is too huge to fill.
Atiku, on his X handle, stated this when he led a delegation to condole with Dantata’s family, the people, and the government of Kano State over the loss.
He said shortly after visiting the Dantata family, “I proceeded to the Government House, Kano and was received by Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf.
“I expressed sadness over the loss of Alhaji Aminu Danatata. I reminded that as a renowned global entrepreneur, Dantata’s demise is not a loss only to the family and the people of Kano, but Nigeria and the world at large.
“I prayed Allah to grant the deceased Aljannah Firdaus and give the family, the government and people of Kano the fortitude to bear the loss.”
Atiku said Governor Abba Kabir was happy at his visit and thanked him “for sending a delegation to Saudi Arabia to attend the funeral prayers and burial of the legendary businessman.”
The former Vice President reiterated the huge contributions of late Dantata to the development and growth of the economy of Kano in particular, especially in education and healthcare, saying “the loss has left a vacuum, difficult to fill.”
