“GFSR” Gaffe: Edo Governor Okpebholo Stumbles Over Tinubu’s National Honour
By George Omagbemi Sylvester
In a widely circulated video from a recent government event in Benin City, Edo State Governor Monday Okpebholo struggled to pronounce President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s national honour, saying “GFSR” instead of the correct GCFR (Grand Commander of the Order of the Federal Republic).
While the slip was brief and unintentional, political observers noted its symbolic weight. Dr. Jide Ojo, a political analyst, explained, “Symbolism in governance is foundational; titles reflect hierarchy and respect.” Constitutional scholar Professor Auwalu Yadudu emphasized that national honours “represent the dignity of the republic.”
Supporters dismissed the error as minor, highlighting the pressures of live speaking. Still, in Nigeria’s hyper-scrutinized political culture, even small protocol lapses quickly attract national attention.
