'The rich also cry' - Nigerians react to shocking comment by business mogul Alhassan Dantata about dying

Nigerians have reacted to a shocking comment by billionaire business mogul, Aminu Alhassan Dantata.

Dantata speaking while playing host to Senator Kashim Shettima, the vice president of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kano State said he hopes to depart this world in good faith as he said he no longer enjoys life.

This statement raised some eyebrows on social media.

According to him, most of his friends and people he met across Nigeria at his youthful age have died while noting that he could hardly call out 10 who are still alive.

He said: “I have traveled to all the states in Nigeria and I have done things with people across all states, many were friends but sadly, all the people I know, I hardly can call out 10 that are still alive. “Honestly, as I am right now, I am just waiting for my time.

I no longer enjoy life anymore. I hope I depart this world in good faith. “I hope I did not offend anyone in life. If I offended anyone, I hope they find it in their hearts to forgive me. If anybody has offended me, I have forgiven them.

Expressing joy and appreciation for Shettima's visit, Dantata prayed for Nigeria for everlasting peace and harmony.

“May God not leave us with our efforts alone, we pray for his continued guidance and protection,” he added. Legit.ng gathers that Shettima was on a consultation visit to Kano state.

He explained that the purpose of visiting Danata was largely to reach out to elder statesmen on the ongoing project in the north ahead of the 2023 general elections.
