Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde Faces Resignations

On November 2, 2026, three key officials in Oyo State, including Ayobami Ojo, the Commissioner for Budget and Economic Planning, resigned from their positions. Ojo submitted his resignation letter to Governor Seyi Makinde through the Secretary to the State Government, Prof. Musibau Babatunde, stating that his resignation takes immediate effect.

He did not disclose his reasons but expressed gratitude for the opportunity to serve. Adegbola Oyeleke, the Special Adviser on Budget and Economic Planning, also resigned, citing discomfort with the working environment that hindered his ability to fulfill his responsibilities.

He thanked Makinde for his leadership and support. Sunday Falana, a member of the Oyo State Independent Electoral Commission, announced his resignation in a letter dated November 2, also thanking the governor for the opportunity to serve.

These resignations follow the earlier departure of Chief of Staff Segun Ogunwuyi and former Director-General of the Due Process Office Tara Adefope.
