Two media aides to Ondo State Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa, Pastor Taiwo Gbamila and Mr. Olugbenga Abire, have officially resigned from their appointments. Gbamila, who served as the Senior Special Assistant on Multimedia, submitted his resignation in a letter to the governor, thanking him for the opportunity to serve. Meanwhile, Abire, serving as Special Assistant on New Media, expressed his emotional decision to step down in a statement, noting he would miss his colleagues but would remain reachable online.

The resignations come at a time when there is increasing scrutiny on political appointments and shifts within state governments in Nigeria. It is not uncommon for aides to resign for various reasons, including personal decisions, political realignments, or in response to changes in government direction. Such resignations can reflect broader dynamics within the governance structure and may indicate shifting loyalties or future political moves by those involved.

These resignations raise questions about potential changes in the media strategy of Governor Aiyedatiwa’s administration and how new appointments might affect the communication approach of the state government. The outgoing aides’ statements suggest they have intentions to remain engaged with the public, which could influence their future roles within or outside the political arena of Ondo State.
