President Jonathan's Portrait Disappears In Kano Offices

The portrait of President Goodluck Jonathan
is gradually disappearing in federal
institutions, business centres and other
public offices in Kano State.
Constitutionally , Jonathan ’s portrait should
adorn public offices and institutions until his
handover on May 29.
But our correspondent observed that the
portrait of President- elect, General
Muhammadu Buhari, have taken over in
many offices.
The development confirms many cannot
wait for Jonathan to get out of office on May
29.
As a result, the demand for the portrait of
Buhari has soared with each going for as
high as N 1 , 500 on many streets of Kano .
It was gathered that manufacturers of the
portraits have run out of stock after making
stupendous money .
In one of the offices visited by our
correspondent, Buhari’s portrait welcomes
visitors at the reception .
With Buhari spotting a red cap , a spectacle
and a white male flowing gown, the
portraits has an inscription: His Excellency
General Muhammadu Buhari (GCFR ),
President Commander in Chief of the
Armed Forces Federal Republic of Nigeria .
A café operator, who craved for
anonymity, along Civic Centre Road where
the portrait of the president -elect was
conspicuously hanged on the wall , said :
“Buhari has won the election and that was
the change we were looking for and the
change has eventually come .
“ So, we wouldn ’t want to waste time
delaying the time for his inauguration before
we start hanging his portrait .”
