Edo Governor Monday warns new Commissioners: No entry to Exco meeting without wearing Asiwaju cap

Edo State Governor Monday Okpebholo has directed all Commissioners and Special Advisers in his administration to wear the Asiwaju mandate cap as a show of loyalty and support for President Bola Tinubu’s re-election.

The governor gave the directive in Benin City during the swearing-in ceremony of 19 newly appointed Commissioners and several board chairmen and members of state agencies.

Governor Okpebholo warned that any Commissioner who failed to wear the Asiwaju cap would be barred from attending State Executive Council meetings.

“This could not have happened if we did not have a responsible president. We have done many elections here, and the major problem we had was that the president was not with us. But today, we say thank you,” Okpebholo said. “I will not forgive any Commissioner who is not wearing this cap. In our Exco meetings, if you are not wearing a suit and you come without this Asiwaju cap, you will go back.”

The ceremony also featured the inauguration of the Senior Secondary Education Board and the Edo State Law Reform Commission.
