Chairman of the All Progressives Congress in Edo State, Emperor Jarrett Tenebe, has said that any Commissioner sent out of the State Executive Council meeting for not wearing the ‘Asiwaju cap’ would be suspended from the party.
Governor Monday Okpebholo told his Commissioners to wear the cap when attending Exco meetings.
Emperor Tenebe, in a television interview monitored by our reporter, said it was an act of indiscipline and insubordination for any Commissioner not to obey Governor Monday Okpebholo’s directive.
He said any impediment to Edo APC’s achievement of 3.5 million votes for President Tinubu in 2027 would not be tolerated.
He said, “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 promised that 3.5 million votes were guaranteed. Everybody has keyed into realising the 3.5 million votes.
“If, as a member of the APC, you got an appointment, you are supposed to be loyal to the President.
“We are expressing our loyalty to the President by wearing the cap. Those complaining are not members of the APC. We, in Edo, have made it clear. No Asiwaju cap, no Exco.”
