Oyo State Officials Ayobami Ojo, Adegbola Oyeleke Resign

On November 2, 2026, three officials from Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde's cabinet resigned, contributing to a series of recent departures from the administration. Ayobami Ojo, the Commissioner for Budget and Economic Planning, submitted his resignation letter through the Secretary to the State Government, Prof. Musibau Babatunde, stating that his exit takes immediate effect but did not provide a reason.

Adegbola Oyeleke, the Special Adviser on Budget and Economic Planning, expressed discomfort with the working environment in his resignation letter, while acknowledging the governor's support. Sunday Falana, a member of the Oyo State Independent Electoral Commission (OYSIEC), also resigned without stating a reason but described his tenure as worthwhile.

These resignations follow the departure of Chief of Staff Segun Ogunwuyi and former Director-General of the Due Process Office Tara Adefope, among others, indicating ongoing instability within the cabinet.
