Special Government Announcement
The Abia State Governor, Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu, has formally directed that the appellations;ย His Excellencyย andย Executiveย ,ย be dropped in allย official and informal communication ย with him.
He would rather prefer to be addressed ย simply as Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu, Governor of Abia State.
The Governor wants all public ย communication to be concentrated ย on the work and policies of the state and not on the person of the Governor and has therefore directed ย all contractors, political groups, individuals and ย party loyalists not to put his portrait on billboards, posters andย signagesย ย but toย ONLYย use the pictures of ongoing projects in their billboards and posters.ย ย
The Governor has also directedย the general public ย to remove all congratulatory posters and election billboards littering the environment as theseย public posters are defacing the environment of the state.ย Heย has further charged theย people of the Stateย to be partners with Government in ensuring a healthy and beautiful environment.ย
He is also, ย by this directive, re-assuring the good people of Abia State of his mission of service to the peopleย and therefore urged the citizenryย to ย key into the ย new vision.ย

Godwin Adindu
Chief Press Secretary to the Governor.
