African Action Congress presidential candidate Omoyele Sowore has urged the removal of the title 'Excellency' when referring to Nigerian politicians. In a recent post on his verified X account, Sowore argued that Nigerian politicians have not demonstrated any excellence given the country's widespread corruption and poverty. He criticized politicians like Rotimi Amaechi and Peter Obi for supporting the removal of fuel subsidies, urging them to apologize to Nigerians for their poor government records.
Sowore maintained that he had consistently opposed the fuel subsidy removal. He emphasized, "No Nigerian politician should ever again be addressed as His Excellency or Her Excellency. They don’t earn it." The issue of 'Excellency' being removed from politicians' titles is a matter of contention in Nigerian politics.
