Peter Obi has sent his sincere “heartfelt condolences” to the “esteemed” Dantata family following the passing of the “revered patriarch”, Alhaji Aminu Dantata, who passed at age of ninety-four (94).
The former Governor of Anambra State said, Dantata “uplifted” the economy of Nigeria through his “wisdom in commerce”, and through his “philanthropy” elevated Nigerians.
Obi prayed Dantata’s “legacy of selflessness and humility continues to inspire Nigeria for generations to come.”
In his condolence, Obi wrote on his official X account: “I wish to most sincerely send my heartfelt condolences to the esteemed Dantata family on the passing of the revered patriarch and statesman, Alhaji Aminu Dantata at the graceful age of 94. Alhaji Dantata’s legacy stretches across generations, industries, and communities.
“His humility, compassion and simplicity, even in vast wealth, are virtues worth emulating. He uplifted not just Nigeria’s economy but the Nigerian people through his wisdom in commerce and his philanthropy.
“As we mourn him today, I pray Allah (SWT) grants him Aljannatul Firdaus, and grants his family, and all of us, the fortitude to bear this irreplaceable loss.
“I also pray that his legacy of selflessness, enterprise and humility continues to inspire Nigeria for generations to come.
“May his soul rest in perfect peace.”
