Edo APC Chair: We Are Following Okpebholo With “No Sense” Of Our Own

The Edo State Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Jaret Tenebe, has expressed total loyalty to state governor, Monday Okpebholo, saying in doing so the leadership of the party will behave as if they have “no sense” of their own.

The APC chairman in the state, who spoke during the “Edo State City Boy employment 2025” stated that  the governor has the total support of the members of the party, who are prepared to go the extra mile for him.

Tenebe stressed that the party is  also working to ensure that the 3.5 million votes promised President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in 2027 by Governor Okpebholo became a reality, saying APC is a moving vehicle without a brake.

“That our loyalty to our governor is of no break, no gear, no sense,” Tenebe announced.

“The explanation is this: Anything the governor tells us to do, we cannot argue, because he has all the special advice and all the Special assistance.”

The APC chairman used a stark analogy to describe the party’s obedience.

“If you have ever seen a vehicle or truck with no gear and descending; you know how deadly such a vehicle is. That’s what we are as a party in this state. Because we have no sense.”

“The governor has already told us that 3.5 million votes for President Bola Tinubu must be guaranteed and is already settled,” he stated.

The magazine reports that the APC chairman’s remark comes on the heels of the controversial comment by Governor Okpebholo recently, to the effect that commissioners who failed to wear Tinubu’s signatory cap on native clothes to the state Executive Council Meeting, will be sacked.

Following the governor’s remark, Etebe also followed up by warning that any members of the state cabinet who disobeyed Okpebholo will be suspended from the party, saying government appointees in the state are expected to be loyal to the president. .

He said, “If you refuse to wear the cap as the governor has directed, we will suspend you. That is indiscipline and insubordination.

“We are doing this because we have made a promise that 3.5 million votes are guaranteed for President Bola Tinubu. Everybody has keyed into achieving that target.

“If, as a member of the APC, you got an appointment, you are supposed to be loyal to the President. We are expressing our loyalty to him by wearing the cap. Those complaining are not members of the APC. We in Edo have made it clear — no Asiwaju cap, no Exco.”

Not a few watching events in the state insist that the governor and APC officials’ remark have got to the ridiculous level, never before witnessed in the history of the south-south state.
