He implored Nigerians to emulate his good habits, particularly his extraordinary generous philanthropy.

Tinubu described Dantata’s demise as a great loss, not just for the Dantata family, but for Nigeria and the entire Muslim community.

The President made the remark on Thursday in Kano during a condolence visit to the family of the late business mogul who was buried in Medina, Saudi Arabia on Tuesday.

Vice President Kashim Shettima who represented the President, in a statement by his media aide, Stanley Nkwocha said, “I am here at the behest of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, who said I should come here to pray and sympathise with the Dantata family over the loss of our father and grandfather, the late Aminu Dantata.

“He was a good man, full of the fear of God. He helped a lot of people, not just here in Nigeria but in other parts of the world. He will be remembered for his good work. May God grant him Aljannatul Firdausi and comfort the family and all of us over this great loss”.

Tinubu said the death of Aminu Dantata was a celebration of life and the good works of the late elder statesman.

He advised the children of the deceased and other family members to cooperate and continue to live in peace with one another in honour of their departed father.

Speaking on behalf of the Dantata family, the younger brother of the deceased, Alhaji Munzali Dantata, thanked President Tinubu and Vice President Shettima for their show of love.

Munzali Dantata explained that his late elder brother was buried outside the country due to his request to be buried in Saudi Arabia, a request he said the Saudi government obliged.

Those who accompanied the Vice President on the condolence visit include the Deputy Chief of Staff to the President, Senator Ibrahim Hassan Hadejia; Special Adviser to the President on General Duties, Alhaji Umar Modibo; former Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Mohammed Bello Adoke (SAN), and former Kogi State Governor, Captain Idris Wada, among others.

The renowned business magnate died on Saturday, June 28, 2025, in Dubai at the age of 94, and was buried on Tuesday, July 1, 2025, in Medina, Saudi Arabia.

Africa’s richest businessman, Aliko Dangote, is a nephew of the late Aminu Dantata.

He was survived by three wives, 21 children and over 100 grandchildren.
