He said he rather be addressed by his first name, Eze after his victory in 2023 gubernatorial election.
Eze argued that one of the words abused in the society today is ‘your excellency’, which according to him is synonymous with greed, non-performance and a great deal of corruption.
“I have grown to see some words being abused, ‘your excellency’ is one, it’s as though it is now synonymous with greed, non performance and a great deal of corruption.
“In my administration, there is no need calling me His Excellency. Excellency should be based on performance; it should be based on extreme demonstration of good leadership qualities.
“It should be based on entrenchment of good governance that placed the dividends of democracy on the tables of the people.
“When I become your governor please call me Ezeh (my first name) or Mr Governor.
“Therefore calling me His Excellency should be after my tenure when the people must have measured my Performance and adjudged it to be excellent.
“Be a part of an administration that promises to depart from the norm,he urged.”
