Edo APC threatens to suspend any commissioners not wearing ‘Tinubu cap’

The Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Edo State, Emperor Jarrett Tenebe, has issued a stern warning to government officials, stating that any Commissioner sent out of the State Executive Council (SEC) meeting for failing to wear the ‘Tinubu cap’ will face suspension from the party.

This directive follows Governor Monday Okpebholo’s instruction to his Commissioners, emphasizing that they must wear the symbolic cap associated with President Bola Tinubu to every SEC meeting.

Emperor Tenebe, in a television interview monitored by our Correspondent, said it was an act of indiscipline and insubordination for any Commissioner not to obey Governor Okpebholo’s directive.

He said any impediment for Edo State APC not to achieve its 3.5 million votes for President Tinubu in 2027 election would not be tolerated.

According to him, “If you refuse to wear the cap as the governor has directed, we will suspend you. That is indiscipline and insubordination.

“We are doing it because we had made a promise that 3.5 million votes are guaranteed. Everybody has keyed into realising the 3.5 million votes.
