Press statement from the Governor's office
The Abia State Governor, Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu, has formally directed that the appellations; His Excellency and Executive , be dropped in all official and informal communication with him.
He would rather prefer to be addressed simply as Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu, Governor of Abia State.
The Governor wants all public communication to be concentrated on the work and policies of the state and not on the person of the Governor and has therefore directed all contractors, political groups, individuals and party loyalists not to put his portrait on billboards, posters and signages but to only use the pictures of ongoing projects in their billboards and posters.
The Governor has also directed the general public to remove all congratulatory posters and election billboards littering the environment as these public posters are defacing the environment of the state. He has further charged the people of the State to be partners with Government in ensuring a healthy and beautiful environment.
He is also, by this directive, re-assuring the good people of Abia State of his mission of service to the people and therefore urged the citizenry to key into the new vision.
Signed:
Godwin Adindu
Chief Press Secretary to the Governor.

Wow! Dis is cool, and nice development. I pray he delivers his promises, and I wish him all d best.
ReplyDeleteSeriously?
ReplyDeleteWow, that's impressing, seems he will do more than T.Orji
The only thing d former Gov, did was making sure they have his obituary pasted on around Abia on bill board , anywhere u go, its his useless head u'd see.
Even †Ñ’ξ state's capital is a total mess, he did absolutely nothing for Abians. Or is it money owed to civil servants?
Αи∂ now ppl are speculating he'd be controlling this one since he was d person that placed him in power.
Well, all fingers are crossed, we pray he does better
#ITwillONLYgetBETTER
#itMUSTendINpraise
Lmao @his useless head. Kai Nigerians, we hv bad mouth loll.
DeleteYou are very stupid, our former Governor laid the needed foundation. Ochendo did well and his successor will do better cos Ochendo will never choke him
DeleteAlright. Let his people listen o. All the oversabi people will still go and be putting title.
ReplyDeleteWell done sir. Concentrate on the work and not the person . Your vision for your state is nice.
wishing u d best.
Interesting, when they start newly they want to impress us with how humble they re. 2yrs from now, U won't believe it's d same man. Political power intoxicate Nigeria politicians in a very bad way
ReplyDeleteUbanagum
True talk. Likely initial gra gra. Perform and improve ur ppl. Title or no title, humble or not. Just transform the state. We r waiting to hear u roll out ur blue print on transformation not all this busy doing nothing
DeleteNice one and may God give him the wisdom to rule his people
ReplyDeletehmmm...I am observing.
ReplyDeleteSomeone has started thinking! ..way to go
ReplyDeleteI think that's the sign of a serious-minded goal oriented governor. More grease to your elbow sir
ReplyDeleteBrilliant.. a welcome new development to curb corruptive practices and reduce the cost of spending money on peripheral things.
ReplyDeleteGood start.pls do something about ABA sharp sharp
ReplyDeleteLeadership by example.. Hope u will turn the state of Abia to a glorious one
ReplyDeleteIs not by dropping the title, is bye doing some action in abia state, Aba especially, that doesn't have any Good road.
ReplyDeleteAbia needs serious development, not whether he is called his excellence or not.
That will help keep sycophants at bay . Good one
ReplyDeleteThis is some real stuff here... let's patiently follow. 2tim 2:1-4
ReplyDeleteHe should have dropped the Dr title too na lol
ReplyDeleteAnother Chief Servant?
ReplyDeleteCould this be Abian's saviour? Only time will tell.
ReplyDeleteThey've never tried an Ngwa man before. Aba is in Ngwa land so let's hope he'll tackle that shambolic city square on.
DeleteHe surely means business
ReplyDeleteEvery mallam with im kettle. Linda take note!
DeleteHahahahaha.... that's funny. @juliet
DeleteSeems he'll be better than the former governors.
ReplyDelete@Christie, I pray so too. Hope he's not an old wine in a new bottle. Just passing.....
DeleteHmmm nice one
ReplyDeleteThank you very much,sir. Let's know if they are there for modeling or for service.
ReplyDeleteThis one Governors are dropping Title....... Issoraiit!.....Please Fulfill Your Promises!
ReplyDeleteNice one. Hope he will deliver that state. is in a mess
ReplyDeleteNice one. Hope he will deliver that state. is in a mess
ReplyDeleteGood for him, Alex Otti is the one who deserves to be called his excellency, and he must achieve that feat at the tribunal.
ReplyDeleteWell only time will tell, if your service to the people will be a blessing.
ReplyDeleteNa today what if after your paparazii of dropping his excellence, and he is still corrupt ?
ReplyDeletehigh level of hypocritical attitude
ReplyDelete4 years will tell
ReplyDeletehigh level of been humble
ReplyDeleteGovernor for d people
ReplyDeleteLove this. I think it should only be the President and the Vice President that should use the excellency tag. I hope others follow.
ReplyDeleteVery Good Decision
ReplyDeletei can see that the "change" mantra is really hitting all this PDP Governors. How nice !! and to you Linda, u need to also change and step up your area for comments whereby people can like,commend, and dislike a comment....
ReplyDeleteLove his simplicity
ReplyDeleteOga . Dont disappoint us oooo... we hope on u.. aba is ur stare... try to beautify aba road.ndewoo
ReplyDeleteThere seem to be a lot of sane people in this present dispensation! A lot of people who seem intent on helping the Nigerian populace. There is change, there is hope.
ReplyDeleteGood one! but lets hope it last through his entire tenure
ReplyDeleteAs 4 me; what's important is d development of that state
ReplyDeleteespecially Aba; that industrious town is an eyesore &
a new haven 4 kidnappers
Yimu #format
ReplyDeleteThese are the kind of men Nigeria needs at this time. May God continue to bless you with more wisdom Sir.
ReplyDeleteFinally, a reasonable Governor for Abia state. Even if he eats some of d govt fund money, so long as he is doing some projects to improve My state, I am happy. All the Org# ruined Abia
ReplyDeleteGud one dr okezie
ReplyDeleteHe is a crook
ReplyDeleteCould he be the saviour Abian need? Only time will tell.
ReplyDeleteAll na packaging
ReplyDeleteAba is very bad sir try and put your effort in Aba sir
ReplyDeleteYea i love this man already, the black man and titles! Even the so called office of the first lady should be scraped. Imagine calling buhari's wife and other governors wives excellency too???!!! SMH.
ReplyDeleteLo ba tan, media house no go see money chop o.
ReplyDeleteTHE OFFICE OF THE FIRST LADY SHOULD BE SCRAPED BECAUSE IT MAKES THEM SWOLLEN HEADED! IT DISTRACTS THEIR HUSBANDS! *SHOUTING*
ReplyDeleteI wonder why some people commented negatively about what this governor did! it seems not every Nigerian is really ready for the change they seek. Kudos Governor, at least its a step in the right direction..we will then keep track of his progress and failures
ReplyDeleteI pray that the Lord will help you to fulfill the your promises to the people and lift our state from the dunghill that it now. ABA MUST RISE AGAIN. VINCENT
ReplyDeleteA good way to start off buh we expect that the real work gets down at the end of the day.
ReplyDeleteGod bless Abia state. Let Abia be full of your glory. Please repent and believe in Jesus Christ the saviour of mankind. Also believe in God. THE VOICE OF THE PROPHETESS
ReplyDeleteI sincerely hope this man delivers. That's all. Aba is a mess
ReplyDeleteHe needs to concentrate on developing Abia state and drop this 'notice me stuff'.
ReplyDeleteThe new Governors should stop all this irrelevant bullshit and concentrate on the main issues affecting Nigeria and Nigerians!
Dropping the title has no correlation with the improvement of Abia State.
Every aboki to himkettle........Do the needful
ReplyDeleteMoye says so via BB Passport...Courtesy LIB......
Aba need urgent....in fact serious attention. d place is a mess. Very dirty environment. Pls sir Pay attention to Aba.
ReplyDeleteDats a radical step! But we need a more radical approach in d transformation of Abia State. We have suffered enough 4 sixteen harrowing years
ReplyDeleteOya Na. Make we see Na.
ReplyDeleteOrji Uzo Kalu tried to deceive us too by getting contractors but after tribunal settlement he abandoned us and presented his mother.
ReplyDeleteSo nwa ngwa let's watch and see. Sleepless nights do happen when mandates are stolen. When TA vacates govt house, we Will know they are serious.
I hope its not eye service o. Only time will tell.
ReplyDelete#TeamBlessed#

ReplyDeleteYesooo! Too much felicitation distracts from serious work. Welcome to the action governor.
ReplyDeleteyuo fool the same media which helped to campaign is what you are witch hunting with your yeye ban if congrats... why not ban traveling allowances ... now a better way to be upright is to constitute a tenders board which will include members of opposition, media , nba , nma , and civil societies ...iam sure they will provide enough checks you ole....
ReplyDeleteI jus hopes he delivers...Abians nid total change
ReplyDeleteAll this eye service sef. He can as well drop the official cars and the government house so we know he is serious.
ReplyDeleteClean up Aba, then you will go down as the best governor unlike you foolish and thief thief predecessor, may God punish him and his linage.
ReplyDeleteI'm impressed but Pls do somethings that will us know u truly mean business
ReplyDeleteUnlike the imo State cursed governor Rochas Okorocha who wants everybody to have a bill board of his ugly picture in their toilet, even wear his to be on his neck.Shameless gay man who became so desperate for power and finished all the anus of the hausas before coming to lead his father in Imo state
ReplyDeleteDats a servant leader there for you
ReplyDeletewe just wait and see,i just hope u are as good as your words sound because people of Abia state have suffered more than enough.GOD help you in keeping to those promises.
ReplyDeletewe just wait and see,i just hope u are as good as your words sound because people of Abia state have suffered more than enough.GOD help you in keeping to those promises.
ReplyDeleteI hope he will do exactly as he has promised because other ex governors said the same thing at the begging. Abians should try not to just seat at home and criticize him but instead keep praying for a turn around with God all things are possible.
ReplyDeleteHmmmmm,nonsense!
ReplyDeleteThis is a good one indeed Abia is blessed with him. Now people will appreciate the efforts by T A Orji to support a governor that will deliver.
ReplyDeleteOk
