The information has been circulating for a few hours. The Minister of Sports, Oswald Homeky, resigned from President Patrice Talon’s government on Friday, October 6, 2023. So far, the reasons for this voluntary departure have not yet been revealed.
After 7 years of loyal service, one of the youngest and most faithful companions of the Head of State, Patrice Talon, has just left the government. The information, published by Peace Fm radio on its Facebook page, has surprised many. “The Head of State received the resignation of the Minister of Sports this morning, which he accepted. The Minister of Energy, Water, and Mines will be in charge temporarily,” the media quoted government spokesperson Wilfried Léandre Houngbédji as the source.
As a reminder, the now former Minister of Sports, Oswald Homeky, was one of Patrice Talon’s early supporters and a member of the group of young people who supported Talon’s candidacy for the 2016 presidential election.
