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.
