President Muhammadu Buhari on Monday commiserated with Alhaji Aliko Dangote, Africa’s leading industrialist and businessman, over the recent loss of some members of his family.
The large extended family lost three persons: Aliko’s cousin, Madugu Dantata, his uncle, Alhaji Murtala Dantata and Alhaji Sa’idu Fanta, a relation.
In a message of condolence to Aliko Dangote, the Dantata family and the government and people of Kano State through Boss Mustapha, the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, SGF, Buhari described the losses, which occurred in rapid succession as “Irreparable losses that must be accepted as God-ordained.”
He prayed “Allah to grant peace for the departed souls and the bereaved families the strength to bear the losses”.
