Your Excellency,
Resignation from Appointment as Special Assistant on Special Duties.

I write with profound respect and a deep sense of gratitude to formally tender my resignation  as Special Assistant to the Governor of Ondo State on Special Duties, effective from 18th February, 2026.

Serving under your leadership has been a rare privilege and an honour of immense significance. The opportunity to contribute to the developmental aspirations of our dear state and to support the execution of your administration’s strategic objectives has been both professionally enriching and personally fulfilling.

This decision has not been made lightly. After careful reflection, I believe it is time for me to focus more on my national assignment and  pursue the next phase of my political and professional journey. I remain profoundly grateful for the confidence  reposed in me and for the platform granted to serve the people of Ondo State with dedication and integrity.

Kindly accept, Your Excellency, the assurances of my highest esteem and consideration.
Yours faithfully,

E-signed
