Ondo State Governor, Mr Lucky Aiyedatiwa
Two media aides of the Ondo State Governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, have resigned from their appointments in the state government.
The duo, Pastor Taiwo Gbamila, Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on Multimedia, and Olugbenga Abire, Special Assistant on New Media, tendered their letters of resignation on Sunday and Monday, respectively.
Gbamila, in a letter addressed to the governor and the Secretary to the State Government, on Monday, thanked the governor for the opportunity to serve.
“Your Excellency, thank you for the opportunity to serve. I hereby respectfully tender the resignation of my appointment,” the letter read.
Abire, in a statement on Sunday, said: “I am emotional to tell you that I have decided to quit as Special Assistant on New Media to the Governor of Ondo State.
I will miss all of us, but I am still a click away.”
On his Facebook page on Monday, he added that his resignation had been communicated to the governor, who approved the move.
“Late evening of Sunday, 15th February 2026, I shared the news of my exit from the Government of Ondo State with the governor, who appointed me to serve the people of Ondo State on 23rd December 2023.
“As a father, he prayed for me and sanctioned my plans. I equally hinted to my colleagues, who wished me well,” he stated.
Neither former appointee provided a reason for their resignation. (PUNCH)
