The vice chairman of PaceSetter Transport Company, Hon. Segun Taiwo has resigned from Governor Seyi Makinde-led People’s Democratic Party (PDP) government.
The former house of representatives member disclosed this to OYOINSIGHT.COM on Wednesday. Hon. Segun represented Afijio, Atiba, Oyo East, Oyo West federal constituency between 1999 and 2003.
He is said to have returned to the main opposition party in the state, the All Progressives Congress (APC)
”To be straight with you, I am calling it quit with the administration of Seyi Makinde. No doubt, the governor is a good man. For close to five months, I have been looking for ways to see him but all attempts have been futile. And each time, I have always been armed with my resignation letter. It is not that I cannot resign like that but I respect him. Before he appointed me, he invited me and we spoke at length. And I remember what he told me. So before I resign, I want to have few words with him but it hasn’t been possible since August 2021.
“I can’t be collecting salary for doing nothing. Since over a year that I have been appointed, no file has passed through me. Politically, I have been relegated. And when a player is no longer needed somewhere, he tries another club. And that is why you see Cristiano Ronaldo leaving Juventus for Manchester United and Leonel Messi leaving Barcelona for PSG. Luckily, I have always been a progressive. I never joined Peoples Democratic Party, PDP. I teamed up with others to ensure Governor Makinde’s victory after feeling. I have no apology for this because I have the right to associate with any political party. And it is also against my conscience to continue to collect tax payers’ money for doing almost nothing.
