New Abia Governor drops 'His Excellency' title, bans congratulatory messages & advertisement

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.

  11. Seriously?
    Wow, 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

  57. He needs to concentrate on developing Abia state and drop this 'notice me stuff'.

    The 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.

  61. Orji Uzo Kalu tried to deceive us too by getting contractors but after tribunal settlement he abandoned us and presented his mother.
    So 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.

  85. I 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.

    ReplyDelete
  86. This 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.
