Address me as Malam not His Excellency — Jigawa Governor Namadi

The newly inaugurated governor of Jigawa State, Mallam Umar Namadi, has said people should address him as Mallam Umar Namadi, instead of His Excellency, Umar Namadi.

He made the call in his Inaugural Speech on Monday, May 29, at Malam Aminu Kano Triangle, Dutse.

According to him “My dear good people of Jigawa State, with all sense of humility, I would use this opportunity to call you to do me a favour by addressing me as MALAM UMAR NAMADI instead of His Excellency, Umar Namadi.

This is in the spirit of modesty which I believe will also increase our sense of humility and togetherness as we interact with each other.”
