The plane carrying Tinubu taxied into the Aminu Kano International Airport in Kano around three in the afternoon on Friday.

He was received by an entourage including officials of the Kano State Governor Abba Yusuf, government officials, among others.

On Thursday, Sunusi Bature, the spokesman to Governor Abba Yusuf, said the President would visit the North-West state to condole the Dantata family and the people of Kano State over the death of the late philanthropist.

Tinubu’s visit comes about three weeks after the business icon died at the age of 94 in Abu Dhabi, the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

Dantata, an elder statesman, is the uncle of business mogul Aliko Dangote.
Known for his investment in real estate and agriculture, among others, Dantata was also famous for his charitable works.

Last year, he donated N1.5bn to the victims of the Maduguri flooding in Borno State.
