Two commissioners and a special adviser have stepped away from Governor Seyi Makinde's administration in Oyo State, adding fresh tension to what is already a charged political moment in the state.
The resignations are landing at a significant time. Political activity in Nigeria is picking up pace ahead of the 2027 general elections, and Makinde himself is now in the mix at the national level, running for president on the platform of the Allied Peoples Movement (APM).
Whether these departures signal internal friction within his administration or simply the natural reshuffling that comes before a major election cycle is the question everyone in Oyo political circles is now asking.
