Presidential campaign posters of former President Goodluck Jonathan, on Thursday, dotted major streets in Kano, Kano State.

The posters with inscription “2023 Jonathan Goodluck, Our hope, Our solution” were strategically pasted within and around Kano business district that housed half of the city population.
