Kano State Governor, Alhaji Abba Kabir Yusuf, has described President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s condolence visit to the family of the late business mogul, Alhaji Aminu Dantata, as a profound gesture of empathy and statesmanship.
He added that the President’s visit brought immense comfort to the people of Kano and the grieving Dantata family.
It will be recalled that President Tinubu was in Kano on Friday to personally condole with the family of the late elder statesman and business icon, Alhaji Aminu Alhassan Dantata.
Governor Yusuf also recalled the President’s swift and dignified response to the news of Dantata’s passing — including the deployment of a high-level federal delegation to the burial in Madina, Saudi Arabia, and his personal diplomatic interventions that ensured a smooth and honourable funeral process.

He noted, “Your personal presence here, despite your demanding schedule, is a powerful demonstration of leadership, compassion, and respect.”
This was contained in a statement issued by the Governor’s spokesperson, Sanusi Bature Dawakin Tofa, a copy of which was made available to the press in Kano.
“The entire process was handled with remarkable dignity and efficiency, thanks to Your Excellency’s support,” Governor Yusuf stated.
In his remarks during the visit, the eldest son of the deceased, Alhaji Tajudeen Aminu Dantata, also expressed deep appreciation to President Tinubu for standing by the family in both life and death.
He praised the President’s longstanding relationship with the late patriarch and affirmed the family’s commitment to preserving the values of humility, service, and generosity that defined their father’s legacy.
President Tinubu, while paying tribute to the late Dantata, described him as a symbol of integrity, humility, and service to humanity.
“We have lost a conscience of the nation,” the President said. “May Allah, in His infinite mercy, grant him Aljannah Firdaus.”
