The Lagos state Governor made this revelation at the Redeemed Christian Church of God, King’s Court Parish, Lagos, during a service led by Pastor Ben Akabueze.
Pastor Ben Akabueze, the Head Pastor of the church is currently the Director-General of the Budget office and he was once a Commissioner that served in Bola Tinubu and Babatunde Fashola’s administrations.
Sanwo-olu disclosed that his office is working on an executive order that would make it impossible for Executive Officers who performed poorly during office to be called “Excellency”
“I don ’t want title in front of my name. I am actually going to come up with an executive order. This Excellency thing, I think it is when you have finished and if you earn it, then you should be called Excellency.

“ If you haven ’t earned it, if you haven ’t delivered, there is nothing excellent in the Excellency. You are just Mr. Governor for crying out loud and it is only when you have finished the kingdom assignment, when you have finished God’ s work in the chosen place that you have been called to do, that people can say in truth that you are a good representation and you deserve to be called ‘Excellency ’.
