Some days into his suspension as the General Manager of Legacy FM, Ebonyi State, Godfrey Chikwere, known as Baby Mouth, has received two awards from separate organisations.

He was earlier suspended by the privately owned station’s management, who noted repeated breaches of its code of conduct.

This came shortly after Chikwere, in a Facebook post, criticised the handling of state matters by Ebonyi State Governor, Francis Nwifuru.

In that post, he accused the administration of poor communication, underperformance, and lack of policy direction.

In response to the controversy on social media, the station’s owner, Senator Obinna Ogba, denied that the governor influenced the decision, insisting the suspension was purely internal.

However, in a Facebook post on Wednesday, Chikwere appeared unfazed by the development, revealing he had been honoured within 72 hours by the National Youth Council of Nigeria and Champions Cathedral.

“Yesterday, 12/08/2025, during the commemoration of the 2025 International Youth Day, I was honoured for my contribution to youth development in Ebonyi via the media.

“The second award is from Champions Cathedral in recognition of my input in society development.

“To me, I dedicate these awards to all of us who have lent our voices, talent, tact and intellect for society’s growth and development.

“Without your voices, mine alone would have been a mere noise. It’s our award and your award,” Chikwere wrote.
