 ‘Anyone Not Wearing Tinubu’s Cap Will Be Sent Out’ — Okpebholo Warns Commissioners


Edo State Governor, Monday Okpebholo has read a riot act to commisisoners in the state, threatening to send any of them that failed to wear ‘Asiwaju cap’ – also known as ‘President Bola Tinubu cap’ – out of the weekly Executive Council meeting.


Okpebholo said he would not forgive any of the commissioners that failed to wear the cap.


The governor read the riot act on Tuesday, October 14, 2025, during the swearing in of 20 new commissioners and members of various boards in the state.


Okpebholo, who said the swearing in of the appointees wouldn’t have been possible without the support of President Bola Tinubu, noted that several elections have been conducted in the state in the past and the All Progressives Congress, APC, lost because of 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,” he warned.


The governor further warned that he would not tolerate corruption and actions that could undermine the integrity of his administration.


Okpebholo, who said the appointments were made on merit, reminded the appointees that their roles are not for rewards but a call to serve the people of the state.


“Your nominations did not come as a reward or patronage, but as a call to serve the people of Edo State. This administration came into office on the promise of practical governance to touch the lives of our people directly.


 


“My administration’s focus remains on service delivery and tangible results, not propaganda


 


“Our focus is not on propaganda, but on service delivery and tangible results that can be felt in every community across our state,” he added.


 


He also charged the appointees to see their new positions as an opportunity to contribute meaningfully to the development of the state and not not for personal enrichment.


 


Speaking for the appointees, Festus Ebea commended the governor for the confidence reposed in them


 


Ebea, who assured the governor of the appointees’ commitment to his administration’s vision, also pledged support for his developmental agenda and vision for Edo State.
