EDO State Governor, Monday Okpebholo, has threatened to send back any of his commissioners who fails to openly show their solidarity for President Bola Tinubu by wearing the ‘Asiwaju cap,’ also known as the ‘President Bola Tinubu cap,’ out of the weekly State Executive Council meeting.
Speaking on Tuesday, October 14, during the swearing-in of the appointees, Okpebholo said he would not forgive any of the commissioners who failed to wear the cap, saying their swearing in wouldn’t have been possible without Tinubu’s support.
He stated that several elections had been held in the state in the past and the All Progressives Congress (APC) lost due to a lack of support from the sitting president.
“First of all, before we begin, I want to say that this couldn’t have happened if we did not have a responsible President.
“We have done so many elections here. The major problem we had was the President is not with us.
“So, let me tell you, before we begin, you see this cap I am wearing? I will not forgive any commissioner that is not wearing it.
“In EXCO, if you are not wearing a suit, and you are wearing a traditional dress, and you are coming to the EXCO without this Asiwaju cap, you are going back.”
Okpebholo warned that he would not tolerate corruption and actions that could undermine the integrity of his administration.
