Reasons have emerged why Chief Segun Ogunwuyi, the Chief of Staff to the Oyo state governor, Engr. Seyi Makinde resigned his appointment earlier Monday.

According to findings by ogbomosoinsightonline.com, the former legislator pulled out having got winds of the impending sack by the governor which would have been activated today.

Governor Makinde allegedly had resolved to axe Ogunwuyi, following his alleged hobnobbing with an opposition party.

But having been privy to the plan by the governor, sources informed he beat the move by tendering his resignation letter to move on. This development will definitely force political realignment in the state.

In his resignation letter, Ogunwuyi expressed gratitude to the governor for the opportunity to serve in his administration, describing his time in office as a great honour and a deeply fulfilling experience.

He noted he remained proud of the achievements recorded by the administration, particularly in advancing the growth, development and prosperity of Oyo state.

Ogunwuyi, a former member of the Oyo State House of Assembly and the House of Representatives, represented Ogbomoso North/South and Oriire Federal Constituency in the National Assembly.

He is probably heading to the All Progressives Congress APC, sources said. As it added that his heart has “been out of PDP for long.”
