Monday Okpebholo finally carry out his 2025 threat as Edo APC moves to suspend commissioners for not wearing Tinubu cap, just imagine what they have reduced our democracy to. Shame on APC Edo state, shame on the governor of Edo state for not having a mind of own

The political scene in Edo State has taken quite a turn as Jarrett Tenebe, the Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), announced that any commissioner who refuses to don the “Asiwaju cap”—a hat that symbolizes loyalty to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu—will face suspension.

Tenebe made this statement while speaking to party members in Benin City, stressing the need for unity, loyalty, and adherence to the directive from Governor Monday Okpebholo. He mentioned that the governor had ordered all commissioners and high-ranking government officials to wear the Tinubu cap during official State Executive Council meetings and other government functions.

“Any commissioner who doesn’t wear the Asiwaju cap as instructed by the governor will be suspended from the party. We simply cannot allow indiscipline among us,” Tenebe cautioned.

He clarified that this decision aims to demonstrate solidarity with President Tinubu and to strengthen the APC’s presence in Edo State as the party gears up for the 2027 general elections.

However, this directive has ignited significant controversy and backlash, both online and offline. Critics argue that this move places personal loyalty above public service and effective governance. Many Nigerians have taken to social media to question whether wearing a cap should really be a measure of political loyalty or competence.

Supporters of the governor have come to the defense of the policy, arguing that it serves as a symbolic gesture of unity and respect for the President, particularly as the APC in Edo State gears up to solidify its political foundation.

Political analysts suggest that this recent turn of events might exacerbate internal rifts within the Edo APC, potentially impacting the party’s unity as it looks ahead to upcoming elections. Meanwhile, the opposition has jumped at the chance to criticize the ruling party, labeling their actions as “politics of symbolism over substance.”

What’s your take — should loyalty to a political leader be demonstrated through tangible actions and performance, or through symbolic gestures like donning a cap?

He believes that, with the right guidance, these qualities could lead to national innovation and technological advancement.  Monday Okpebholo finally carry out his 2025

Obi pointed out, “the problem isn’t the talent of these young men, but rather the system that has failed to tap into their potential.” He urged the government to prioritize creating opportunities, implementing digital literacy programs, and fostering tech entrepreneurship initiatives that would help channel the youth’s intelligence into productive and legitimate paths.  Monday Okpebholo finally carry out his 2025

He firmly believes that Nigeria’s greatest asset is its young population. Obi called on policymakers to take a rehabilitative and empowering stance rather than resorting to punitive measures that often miss the mark in addressing the root causes of cybercrime. He stated, “Instead of condemning Yahoo Boys, let’s redirect their intelligence. Continue reading here
