Two media aides of the Lucky Aiyedatiwa have resigned from their appointments in the Ondo State Government.

Pastor Taiwo Gbamila, Senior Special Assistant on Multimedia, and Olugbenga Abire, Special Assistant on New Media, tendered their resignations on Monday and Sunday, respectively.

Gbamila, in a letter addressed to the governor and the Secretary to the State Government, expressed gratitude for the opportunity to serve. “Your Excellency, thank you for the opportunity to serve. I hereby respectfully tender the resignation of my appointment,” he wrote.

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, Abire added that the governor approved his resignation after he communicated his decision. “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 wrote.

Neither Gbamila nor Abire provided reasons for their resignations.
