Ogunwuyi, in a resignation letter dated October 12, 2026, stated that his departure from the administration takes immediate effect.
The outgoing Chief of Staff, a former member of both the Oyo State House of Assembly and the Federal House of Representatives, is the latest in a string of high-profile resignations to hit the Makinde administration over the past two months.
In his letter, Ogunwuyi expressed gratitude to the Governor for the opportunity to serve the state.
“I respectfully write to resign my appointment as Chief of Staff to the Governor of Oyo State, with effect from today, October 12, 2026,” the letter read.
“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.
“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 and with confidence in the continued progress of Oyo State.”
Ogunwuyi concluded by extending his “highest esteem and unwavering loyalty” to the Governor and the state.
As of the time of filing this report, the Governor’s office has yet to issue a statement regarding a successor.
