Oyo Chief of Staff Segun Ogunwuyi Resigns Amid Changes
Otunba Segun Ogunwuyi has resigned from his position as Chief of Staff to Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde, effective October 12, 2026. His resignation was communicated in a letter addressed to Makinde, where he expressed gratitude for the opportunity to serve and described his tenure as an honour.
Ogunwuyi did not provide reasons for his resignation or indicate future political plans. His departure occurs amidst reports of changes within Makinde's administration as the governor's political future is under scrutiny, particularly regarding his potential presidential ambitions for the 2027 general elections.
Ogunwuyi has been a significant figure in the administration since his appointment in 2021. The resignation letter did not link his exit to the governor's political aspirations or the recent departures of other political appointees.
Ogunwuyi reaffirmed his loyalty to Oyo State and the Federal Republic of Nigeria in his letter.
