Governor, State of Osun, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, has argued that the prefix “Your Excellency” attached to the names of state governors in Nigeria is illegal.



june 12



He gave three reasons at the ongoing Guild of Editors Conference in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.

First, he argued that it is only God who should receive the tag, “excellency”.

Second, he said that there is nowhere it is written in the Nigerian Constitution that a governor should be called his excellency.

Third, Aregbesola argued that a student cannot be scored excellent before but after an examination. That is why after an examination, “you are rated excellent, very good, good, fair, pass, fail”.

“Every governor is writing an examination and until he finishes, he cannot be rated.”

He asked rhetorically: “Is it not enough to be called a governor with power of life and death? What do you want to make of a governor by calling him excellency? God? Or do you want to make the governor mad? Call me just Ogbeni (simple Mr)”.

ogbeni dey pay his workers steadily.even pensioners are paid too. it just that they endure to s fullest which makes to be patient and enjoy their benefit.

ogbeni is well respected all over the world.it doesn't fancy title.unlike some other governors.

He should park well jare. All those are inconsequential to good governance. His word are mere ''formatting''.

We all know Almighty God is His Excellency. Referring to a earthly position is mere protocol and order. God Himself is a God of order. Give unto Caesar what is Caesar's.

The bottomline is such temporal being should not esteem himself above his mortality and above God Almighty just because of a protocol word of ''Excellency''.

Even this clown and roadside comedian is excellency....

it's only God that can be called his excellency. God can never share his glory with any one. no one should be calling any governor his excellency.
