Follow @9jaLife For what it’s worth, I believe this ought to be a national policy. Only makes sense. How does a person act in an unbiased capacity after receiving that which is designed to make him/her very biased in favor of the body that granted the recognition? AC - Circular To All EXCO members and other political Appointees Prohibition of Chieftaincy/Honorary Titles By Political Office Holders In Recent times, it has been observed that some political functionaries in the state have been receiving chieftaincy/honorary titles even while they are still holing public offices. This also applies to honorary academic degrees being indiscriminately awarded and accepted by political functionaries. This is unacceptable. For the avoidance of doubt, it is the policy of the present government that any political functionary who is interested in chieftaincy or honorary title should defer it until after leaving public office. Consequently, the state Governor, Ogbeni Rauf Adesoji Aregbesola has directed that all political appointees in the state should desist forthwith from doing so. Anyone who violates this directive would be appropriately sanctioned Kindly Ensure that this circular letter is given the seriousness it deserves.
