The Director General of the Performance Project Implementation Monitoring Unit (PPIMU) in Ondo State, Rasaq Obe, has resigned his appointment as he prepares to pursue political ambitions ahead of the 2027 general elections.
In a statement announcing his decision, Obe described his resignation as a deliberate step towards redefining representation in the Idanre/Ifedore Federal Constituency.
He expressed gratitude to Ondo State Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa for the opportunity to serve, noting that his time in office was marked by meaningful contributions to the state’s development.
Obe explained that his decision was influenced by growing calls from his constituency, stressing that his move was made in good faith and should not be interpreted as disloyalty to the current administration.
He added that Governor Aiyedatiwa remains committed to unity, growth, and development, and is supportive of his next phase of public service.
The former PPIMU boss, however, raised concerns about what he described as prolonged stagnation in the Idanre/Ifedore Federal Constituency, citing poor infrastructure and inadequate representation despite previous electoral mandates.
He maintained that his resignation aligns with his long-standing vision to advance the interests of the constituency, a commitment he said predates his current role.
Obe called on residents of the constituency and the wider Ondo State to support his renewed drive to deliver effective leadership and sustainable development.
