Segun Ogunwuyi, a former Oyo State lawmaker and ex-member of the House of Representatives, had served as Chief of Staff to Governor Seyi Makinde, a key position coordinating the governor's office and liaising between the executive and other arms of government. His resignation, announced in a letter dated October 12, 2026, adds to a string of exits from Makinde's inner circle this year, fuelling speculation about shifting alliances within the Oyo State government.
The timing is notable given Makinde's widely reported ambitions for the 2027 presidential race, with Premium Times tying the development directly to that bid. While all outlets agree on the fact and date of the resignation, none have yet detailed Ogunwuyi's specific reasons, his next move, or who might replace him as the governor's chief of staff.
