The Edo State chapter of the Association of Local Governments of Nigeria (ALGON), under the leadership of Hon. Sunny Ekpetika Ekpeson, has ordered all local government council officials to wear caps featuring President Bola Tinubu’s insignia during official meetings.
According to a statement by Ekpeson’s media aide, Agbukor Apeakhuye, the directive covers supervisory councillors, senior special assistants (SSAs), and special assistants (SAs).
Ekpeson explained that the move is designed to visibly express grassroots solidarity with Tinubu’s administration and to reflect the party’s political unity in Edo State.
He added that the decision aligns with a recent call by Governor Monday Okpebholo for political alignment across the state, implying that symbolic displays like the wearing of the caps will help reinforce that message.
Ekpeson also appealed to all local government leaders to take the directive seriously, arguing that a unified visual display of support would project strength and cohesion ahead of the 2027 general elections.
