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.
