Mr Ayobami Ojo, the Commissioner for budget and economic planning in Oyo State, has resigned from the cabinet of Governor Seyi Makinde.
Ojo announced his decision in a resignation letter dated Monday, November 2, 2026, addressed to Governor Seyi Makinde through the Secretary to the State Government.
In the letter, the commissioner said his resignation took immediate effect, referring to his appointment letter dated June 22, 2026.
“With reference to your letter dated 22nd June, 2026 (SP.S.662/2/VOL.IV/192), I respectfully write to formally resign my appointment as Honourable Commissioner for Budget and Economic Planning, with effect from today, 2nd November, 2026,” the letter read.
Ojo thanked the governor for the opportunity to serve, describing his time in office as a privilege.
“I want to express my sincere appreciation for the opportunity to serve our dear State under the administration of Your Excellency.
“Serving the Government and the good people of Oyo State has been a great honour that I do not take lightly,” he wrote.
He did not give any reason for his decision.
