Three indigenes of Oyo State who are currently working with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu are expected to resign from their positions any moment from now
The trio are expected to leave Tinubu’s government before
March 31 this year.
Our correspondent gathered that their resolve to resign is
sequel to a directive by the President earlier this week.
Recall that Tinubu had, a few days ago, directed all
political appointees under his administration seeking to contest elective
positions in the 2027 general elections to resign before March 31.
Head of Information and Public Relations at the Office of
the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (OSGF), Dewan Goshit, made
this declaration in a statement issued on Tuesday.

It was, however, gathered that three people, among whom are
Mr Adebayo Adelabu, Barrister Adebayo Shittu, and Engineer Rauf Olaniyan, are
expected to resign.
The trio are gubernatorial aspirants on the platform of the
ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
They are expected to resign in order to pursue their
gubernatorial ambitions in the 2027 general elections in the state.
Adelabu, who hails from Ibadan, the state capital, is the
current Minister of Power. He was appointed by Tinubu in 2023.
Shittu, who is the Pro-Chancellor and Chairman of the
Governing Council of Dave Umahi Federal University of Health Sciences in Ebonyi
State, had earlier served as Minister of Communications under former President
Muhammadu Buhari.
Shittu, who is from Saki in the Oke Ogun geopolitical zone,
was appointed by Tinubu in June 2024.
Olaniyan, a former Deputy Governor of the state, is the
Chairman of the Governing Council of the Federal College of Education
(Special), Oyo.
He assumed the position in July 2024.
None of the three individuals has resigned from their
positions.
They are, however, expected to resign any moment from now in
order to pursue their gubernatorial ambitions.
