THE wife of Kano elder statesman and business mogul, Alhaji Aminu Dantata, Hajiya Rabi Aminu Dantata, is dead.
The deceased, also known as Mama Rabi, is the mother of Tajuddeen, one of the well-known Dantata’s kids.
According to a family source, she passed away late on Saturday at a hospital in Jeddah, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, following a prolonged illness.
Her six children, Tajuddeen, Batulu, Hafsa, Jamila, and Aliya, as well as several grandchildren, survive her.
President Muhammadu Buhari in a statement released yesterday by his media adviser, Malam Garba Shehu, said the late woman would be remembered for her unmatched compassion and philanthropy.
“She had a passion for service to the people. She was a celebrated philanthropist who loved to share all that she had. Her simple and compassionate life was an inspiration to all those around her,” said the president.
He prayed to Allah to accept her good deeds and give strength to Alhaji Aminu to bear the loss.
Also, in a condolence message, the Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) Kano chapter spokesman, Nasiru Yusuf Ibrahim, condoled with the family and the people of Kano over the loss.
The forum urged the Dantata family to strive to keep the good works and memory of the deceased alive and evergreen for all times.
“No one can replace a devoted wife/mum and one can only imagine the depth of your grief over the loss of someone so important and special in your life,” ACF wrote.
