Segun Ogunwuyi has officially resigned from his position as Chief of Staff to Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde, effective October 12, 2026. This resignation adds to a series of departures among senior aides within the governor's administration over the past two months.

In his resignation letter, Ogunwuyi expressed pride in the accomplishments of the administration and gratitude for the opportunity to serve. 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 resignation comes at a time when several of Makinde's aides have also stepped down, although the reasons for these exits have not been publicly clarified. His departure is notable given his previous roles as a member of both the Oyo State House of Assembly and the House of Representatives, showcasing his extensive legislative experience.

In his letter, Ogunwuyi reaffirmed his loyalty to the state and the nation, stating, "I remain immensely proud of what we have collectively accomplished in advancing the growth, development and prosperity of our dear State."

The trend of resignations from Makinde's administration raises questions about the internal dynamics of his government. As Ogunwuyi exits, it remains to be seen how this will impact the ongoing governance and the future direction of the administration.

Ogunwuyi’s resignation is part of a broader pattern, with multiple aides leaving their posts in a relatively short timeframe. The implications of these departures on the effectiveness and stability of the governor's office are yet to be fully understood, as the administration continues to navigate its priorities and challenges.
