Bode Obanla, the Senior Special Assistant to the Governor of Ondo State on Community Engagement (North), has officially resigned from his position.
In a letter addressed to Governor Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa and dated July 17, 2025, Obanla stated that his resignation was prompted by the growing demands of his personal business, which he described as “flourishing” and in need of his full attention.
He noted that he has already returned all government properties in his possession, including the official Hilux van assigned to his office, through the appropriate channels.
“I have handed over all government properties in my care, particularly the Hilux van attached to my office, to the Government through the Office of the Senior Special Assistant on Community Engagement (Central),” he wrote.
Obanla expressed deep gratitude to Governor Aiyedatiwa for the opportunity to serve, stating that the role provided him with valuable public service experience and a clearer understanding of the developmental needs of communities in the Northern Senatorial District of the state.
“I sincerely appreciate Your Excellency for the opportunity afforded me to serve our dear state… which has in no small measure added to my experience in public life,” he said.
He also voiced hope that the administration would continue to direct developmental efforts toward underserved areas across the northern part of Ondo State.
Obanla’s resignation comes amid ongoing restructuring within the administration, though no replacement has been announced as of press time.
