Calling your Governor
Excellency illegal. Aregbesola.

Governor Rauf Aregbesola of the Stat
of Osun has argued that the prefix
“Your Excellency” attached to the
names of state governors in Nigeria
is illegal.
He gave three reasons at the ongoing
Guild of Editors Conference in Port
Harcourt, Rivers
State.
First, he argued that it is only Go
who should receive the tag,
excellency”.
Second, he said that there is
nowhere it is written in the Nigeria
Constitution that a governor should
be called his excellency.
Third, Aregbesola argued that a
student cannot be scored excellent
before but after an examination. Tha
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 yo
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)”.
