Edo APC chair dares political appointees, refuse to wear Tinubu’s cap, get suspended from the party

Tenebe

Edo state chairman of the All progressives Congress (APC), Jarrett Tenebe, has vowed to suspend from any party any Commissioner, who fails to wear President Bola Tinubu’s cap to the State Executive Council meeting.

He said such person would be sent out of the meeting for not wearing Tinubu’s signature cap.

Recall that Governor Monday Okpebholo had, during the Inauguration of the last batch of Commissioners, to wear the cap whenever they attend Exco meeting.

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

He said any impediment for Edo APC not to achieve 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 have made a promise that 3.5 million votes are 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.”
