Elder stateman and business mogul, Alhaji Aminu Alhassan Dantata, has donated N1.5 billion to victims of the flood which ravaged parts of Maiduguri, Borno state capital.

Dantata made the donation when he led a delegation from Kano to Government House, Maiduguri, on Tuesday.

He extended his heartfelt condolences to Governor Babagana Zulum, the government and the people of the state, especially those who lost their beloved ones to the flood.

Dantata, 96, who lamented how the deterioration of the economy in the country, urged the elites and political leaders to repent and fear Allah in their dealing.

He also prayed for the peace and harmony of the Borno State and Nigeria at large.

Responding, Governor Zulum expressed heartfelt gratitude for Elder Stateman for his compassionate visit, acknowledging that its serves as a powerful beacon of hope and solidarity during the trying times.

“The people of Borno deeply appreciate this show of humanity by a 96-year-old to visit us. Let me say it, Our Baba has donated the sum of N1.5 billion to support the flood victims. May Allah bless and reward you with Aljannah. Mu gode, Baba,” Zulum said.

The development comes after Dantata’s nephew, Alhaji Aliko Dangote, also made a N1 billion donation to the flood victims.

Alh. Aminu Dantata donated N1.5 billion to Maiduguri flood victims. Which means two business men from Kano, from same family donated the sum of N3 billion. Huge!

Governance is different from politics. Before you can get a chance to govern, you must pass the game of politics. That's what you obidents always fail to understand. If Peter Obi has good intention and capacity or not, he's going nowhere if he doesn't play the political game correctly.

Omo! See how Zulum feels intimidated. Dogo na big fish abeg - one of the few state actors that control the political landscape at the federal level. It's why Peter Obi is just wasting his time with his consumption to production gibberish. If he want a chance, pandering to the youth will never be enough. Na why elite politician like PBAT and Atiku will outperform him in the political arena.
