‘No Asiwaju Cap, No Exco’ – Edo APC Move To Suspend Commissioners Over Loyalty To Tinubu
Edo State APC Chairman Jarrett Tenebe declared that any commissioner failing to comply with Governor Okpebholo's directive to wear the "Asiwaju cap" (symbolic of President Tinubu) to State Executive Council meetings will face suspension from the party. Tenebe emphasized that this order demonstrates loyalty to both the party and President Tinubu and is non-negotiable. He sees this as vital to the Edo APC's strategy to secure 3.5 million votes for President Tinubu, dismissing criticism as stemming from non-APC members. The move, aiming to enforce party unity ahead of the 2027 elections, is considered by the APC leadership as a display of discipline and commitment to the party's national leadership.
