However, in response to the replacement of the Sanusi portrait, the Governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Sanusi Bature Dawakin-Tofa, stated that placing the portrait of the dethroned Emir in the coronation hall was part of the hall’s ongoing facelift, and the portrait of the 14th Emir was returned because the hall is synonymous with him.
“The history of the coronation hall is synonymous with the 14th emir of Kano, Malam Muhammadu Sanusi, because it was built for his presentation of the staff of office after he was crowned as the emir succeeding late Alhaji Ado Bayero in 2014 during the administration of Sen. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso,” Dawakin-Tofa said in a statement.
