How President Tinubu welcomed billionaire businessman Alhaji Dantata to Aso Rock
Pictures of President Bola Tinubu bowing down to greet elder statesman and billionaire businessman, Alhaji Aminu Dantata, during a visit to his office at Aso Rock Presidential Villa has garnered attentions online.
Alhaji Dantata, who is also the grandfather of Africa’s richest man, Aliko Dangote, paid a courtesy visit to President Tinubu in Abuja on Tuesday.
Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, said what his principal did was not by accident but a default.
Taking to his X account (formerly Twitter) shortly after the meeting and its photographs surfaced online, Onanuga described Tinubu’s action as a ‘trademark respect’ for the 93-year-old patriarch of the famous Alhassan Dantata family of Kano.
Onanuga wrote: “President Bola Ahmed Tinubu showed trademark respect to Alhaji Aminu Alhassan Dantata, Chairman of Dantata Group of Companies, when the latter visited him in Abuja on Tuesday. Dantata, 93 on 19 May, is the patriarch of the Alhassan Dantata family in Kano.”
