Segun Ogunwuyi has resigned from his position as chief of staff to Seyi Makinde, the governor of Oyo State, according to Channels Television. The resignation was reported on Monday, 12 October 2026.
Channels Television was among several Nigerian news organisations to carry the story. Punch Newspapers, Premium Times Nigeria, Vanguard News and Tribune Online all reported the same development, with some of them labelling it breaking news.
The reports identify Ogunwuyi by name and title but give no reason for his departure. None of the outlets cited in the coverage stated what prompted the resignation or what Ogunwuyi plans to do next.
Ogunwuyi served as chief of staff in Makinde's administration, a role that places him among the governor's closest advisers. Makinde governs Oyo State, one of Nigeria's 36 states, with its capital at Ibadan.
The resignation is the central and only confirmed fact in the reporting so far. Details such as the timing of any handover, the governor's response, or the naming of a successor have not been reported in the material available.
What to watch next: whether the Oyo State government confirms the resignation and names a replacement, and whether either side explains the reason for the departure.
