Segun Ogunwuyi, the Chief of Staff to Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde, has officially resigned from his position, as confirmed by a letter dated October 12, 2026. His resignation is effective immediately, marking a significant change in the governor's administration.

In his resignation letter, Ogunwuyi expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to serve, highlighting the honor he felt in being part of a team that has strived to achieve notable progress for the state. He stated, "Serving the Government and the good people of Oyo State has been a great honour. It has been deeply fulfilling to be part of the exceptional team that has worked relentlessly to deliver the remarkable achievements of this administration."

Ogunwuyi's departure is part of a broader trend, as he is one of several aides to Governor Makinde who have resigned in recent months. This wave of resignations has raised questions about the stability of the current administration and the reasons behind such departures.

The former Chief of Staff, who has previously served as a member of both the Oyo State House of Assembly and the House of Representatives, expressed pride in the accomplishments achieved during his tenure. He concluded his letter with assurances of his loyalty to Oyo State and the Federal Republic of Nigeria, indicating his continued commitment to the state's welfare despite his resignation.

The implications of Ogunwuyi's resignation on the governance of Oyo State remain to be seen, as the administration navigates this transition amidst ongoing challenges and developments within the state.
