The President, Dangote Group, Alhaji Aliko Dangote, has spoken of the pain of watching his younger brother, Sani Dangote, die.
The business mogul who spoke when the National Leader of the All Peoples Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, paid a condolence visit to the family in Kano, said the experience was tormenting.
Sani died in the United States of America on Sunday and was laid to rest on Wednesday at the Alhassan Dantata family cemetery in Koki quarters (Sarari) of Kano metropolis.
According to the News Agency of Nigeria, Dangote said, “It is a very tough time for us; it has been very trying, especially for myself. Having a brother like him; once you lose him it is really very painful. He died in front of me, our mother and all his children.
“The most painful thing is when you are told that your brother will pass on in about an hour and you stand by watching as the machine was going down until it stopped working. It was very tormenting.”
He thanked Tinubu and the others for visiting the family.
“Your Excellency, you are our host because you are the governor of all of us and we really thank you for taking almost the whole week struggling with the crowds, it’s not easy.
“I thank you all for all your prayers and your support. This will actually help us to reduce the pain that we are going through.”
