“I have travelled 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 am now the only one left in my family living with grandchildren.”

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.

The main boss: Tinubu bow, salute Dantata
Earlier, Legit.ng reported how Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and other persons greeted with immense respect the famous Kano business tycoon, Dantata, when they visited him in his residence.
The APC presidential candidate was seen in a video bowing as he saluted Dantata.
Out of honour and sheer respect, other persons in the room (mostly northerners) refused to take Dantata's offer of the handshake but like Tinubu, bowed their heads, holding both hands instead.
