Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Edo State, Jarrett Tenebe, has said that any commissioner sent out of the State Executive Council (SEC) meeting for not wearing Tinubu’s signature cap would be suspended from the party.
Tenebe, in a television interview monitored by The Guardian, said it was an act of indiscipline and insubordination for any commissioner not to obey Okpebholo’s directive.
He stated that any impediment to the Edo APC achieving 3.5 million votes for President Bola 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,” he said.
