Edo State Governor Okpebholo has issued a strict directive to new commissioners, warning that attending Executive Council meetings without the Asiwaju cap will not be tolerated. The governor emphasized the symbolic importance of the cap, linking it to loyalty and respect within the administration. He made it clear that any commissioner arriving without the cap, especially when in traditional attire, will be sent back.
The governor credited the success of the recent inauguration to the support of a responsible president, highlighting the positive impact of national leadership on state politics. He acknowledged that previous electoral challenges stemmed from a lack of presidential backing, but now expressed gratitude to Asiwaju for the smooth progress in Edo State.
This bold stance on dress code reflects Governor Okpebholo’s commitment to unity and tradition in governance. It sets a cultural tone for the state’s administration, reinforcing the significance of identity and allegiance among officials.
