Jarret Tenebe, the Edo State Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has stated that any commissioner barred from the State Executive Council meeting for failing to wear the ‘Asiwaju cap’ as directed by Governor Monday Okpebholo will be suspended from the party.
Recall that on October 14, Governor Okpebholo ordered members of his cabinet to show their allegiance to President Tinubu by donning branded clothing while swearing in recently cleared commissioners and establishing boards and commissions.

Tenebe declared that the party will not put up with any kind of disloyalty and called disobedience to the governor’s order an act of indiscipline and insubordination.
“If you refuse to wear the cap as the governor has directed, we will suspend you. That is indiscipline and insubordination.
“We are doing this because we have made a promise that 3.5 million votes are guaranteed for President Bola Tinubu. Everybody has keyed into achieving that target.
“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 him by wearing the cap. Those complaining are not members of the APC. We in Edo have made it clear — no Asiwaju cap, no Exco,” he said.
