He said, “I was called His Excellency a while ago, but may I plead that (the) ‘excellency’ tag should please wait for now. That is part of what we will discuss in this committee.
“You may just need to learn how to call me by my name, but if that isn’t good for you, then, may I request that you simply call me ‘Charlie Nwangbafor’ (Charles son of Mgbafor).
“If that one is so difficult for you that you must be formal in addressing me, then you can address me as Mr Governor.”
Soludo’s transition committee is chaired by former Minister of Education, Oby Ezekwesili.
