The portrait of President Goodluck Jonathan is gradually disappearing in federal institutions, business centers 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.

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.”
