Kano state has jumped ahead of the entire nation as the portraits of the current President, Goodluck Jonathan, has already been removed from offices. This report was brought to light by National Association of Nigerian Students, Zone B.
The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) Zone B has condemned the removal of President Goodluck Jonathan's portrait from offices in Kano state.
A statement issued in Owerri, Imo State capital by the Public Relations Officer of the Organisation; Pedro Obi condemned in strong terms the undemocratic behavior of government personnel's attached to Kano State Government.
The statement said, ''It should be noted that this nonchalant attitude of removing a seating President's portrait is demonic, petty and a coup in a democratic setting. This is celebration taking too far and should be condemned by all sane mind in the country''.
NANS called on the Governor of Kano State; Gov. Rabiu Kwankwaso, who is a Senator - Elect of the Federal Republic to immediately revert this negative action, fish out the culprits and an adequate punishment should be melted out to these overzealous officials and anti-democratic elements in Kano State.
''As a former Deputy Speaker of the House of Representative, we believe Kwankwaso should know better the position of the law with respect to transition, as Nigerian Students in the eleven States of South South and South East outrightly rejects this palace coup in Kano State''.
''It should be noted that if this fails, it is capable of generating bad blood among the peace loving people of South South and South East region of the country. This will no doubt set a negative precedence against the democratic culture that President Goodluck Jonathan had cultivated and nurtured in Pre and Post 2015 general election''.
