Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, has dismissed the recent wave of resignations by political appointees and other officials in his administration, declaring that their departures have no meaning to him.
Makinde spoke on Tuesday during the presentation of the state’s 2027 Appropriation Bill to the House of Assembly at the Parliament Building, Secretariat, Ibadan.
Reacting to the development, the governor acknowledged that some officials had left his government but insisted that their decisions carried no significance for his administration.
He also disclosed that a female official among those who resigned had approached him with what he described as an ‘impossible request.’
According to Makinde, the official eventually tendered her resignation after he turned down the request.
The governor’s remarks come amid a series of resignations involving political appointees in Oyo State, including former Chief of Staff, Otunba Segun Ogunwuyi, and other former government officials.
The departures have generated political discussions across the state, particularly as political activities intensify ahead of the 2027 general elections.
