Business mogul and elder statesman Aminu Dantata visited President Bola Tinubu in Abuja on Tuesday.
Bayo Onanuga, the president’s special adviser on information and strategy, announced Dantata’s rare visit to the seat of power in a post on X.
As he received Dantata in his office, Tinubu bowed in respect.
Mr Onanuga said, “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, is the patriarch of the Alhassan Dantata family in Kano,” he added.
In February, Dantata endorsed the call for a parliamentary system of government as a solution to Nigeria’s challenges.
Dantata, who seldom comments on political matters, expressed his views when he hosted a delegation led by the minority leader of the House of Representatives, Kingsley Chinda, at his residence in Kano.
