Seyi Makinde's Chief Of Staff Segun Ogunwuyi Resigns

The Chief of Staff to Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde, Otunba Segun Ogunwuyi, has resigned from the state government.

Ogunwuyi announced his resignation in a letter dated October 12, 2026, addressed to Governor Makinde, saying it takes effect immediately.

"I respectfully write to resign my appointment as Chief of Staff to the Governor of Oyo State, with effect from today, 12th October, 2026," he wrote.

The former lawmaker described his service as an honour and expressed gratitude for the opportunity to serve.

"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," he said.

"I remain immensely proud of what we have collectively accomplished in advancing the growth, development and prosperity of our dear State. As I take this decision, I do so with profound gratitude for the opportunity to serve, with confidence in the continued progress of Oyo State."

He concluded by reaffirming loyalty: "Please accept, Your Excellency, the assurances of my highest esteem and unwavering loyalty to Oyo State and the Federal Republic of Nigeria."

Ogunwuyi, who represented Ogbomoso North/South and Oriire Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives and earlier served in the Oyo State House of Assembly, was first appointed Chief of Staff in July 2021 after serving as Director-General of OYSSIPA.

His exit adds to a wave of resignations by several aides in the past two months. He gave no reason and did not disclose his next move.
